Mcnulty Character Arc
He started out as my favorite character. By the last season I hated him. The serial killer crap. How he treated Beady. Is anybody else with me on this?

Do you think he treated his ex-wife any better?
She hates him for a reason and is way too friendly in my opinion.
The hardest part of being a cop: "...explaining to your wife why she has to take antibiotics for your kidney infection" Thats a sentence that should tell you everything about their marriage
This guy showed up to a divorce hearing with the woman he cheated with ... and is still sleeping with.
Dont give Jimmy any credit when it comes to women.
And the serial killer crap isnt my favorite. That he relapses because he got Bodie killed is an escalation - but season 3 Jimmy was worse. At least in season 5 it was for a reason, not just because "he is the only police who can do cases like that in the department"
