White Guys
I'm another who thinks they don't get the white guys right--McNulty, try. I just watched the turgid 16 Blocks, and saw literally no difference between the two characters. Or the newsguys; I feel like I'm watching the Big Carnival. Surely management working for large corporations don't yell at women over the cubicles, 'get your ass over here'. Hardboil as much as you like, but there are still some pretty banter-stifling laws out there. Would if editors were as single-mindedly veracity obsessed, as well, but anyone who reads the paper--a white house source, insiders say, etc--knows better. I can't imagine that a beltway paper is more stringent about sourcing than others...
Lastly, enough with the 'real people' actors. Actors are good at acting, 'real people' aren't good at acting, or they would be actors, not 'real people'. The last season was nearly unwatcheable due to all the unbelievable acting...
All that being said, this is still one of the best shows on television, and the great actors in the show, minus the ones mentioned here, are just amazing...
