  • the wire season 2 spoilers, vague tokyo vice spoilers

    just finished s2 of the wire, my first time watching the show. while i’ve enjoyed it a lot so far and it is definitely better written than most cop shows, i thought the way they killed off frank sobotka felt contrived and poorly written. i get that he had to die for the sake of the metaphor but he was a smart guy and he didn’t seem at all like he wanted to die, so having him choose to go meet up with a bunch of gangsters under a fucking bridge right after talking to the cops felt like it was really dumb and out of character. reminded me of a similar thing towards or at the end of tokyo vice s1 which i thought was so dumb it made me stop watching the show altogether. i won’t stop watching the wire but this felt like the first major misstep so far
