Eh, he actually committed all of those murders with the one exception of the Maintenance Man, he tried to take that one for Bird.

In fact there is no telling how many people Wee Bey killed over the years. There is a scene in Season 2 where Wee Bay and Avon are talking in prison and Avon says something like "I can't even keep count of how many bodies you have" to Wee Bay.

The dude that beats up bubbles

I just started rematch inc the remastered episodes and never realized what scumbags Herc and Carver were. Both are thieves, disloyal, and each take part in fricking Randy's life up. Carver has flashes of being a decent cop but at the end of the day he's a piece of shite IMO

Kennard also shows signs of growing up to be a complete sociopath

As much as Ziggy annoyed my, he played his role extremely well. He was a frick up that refused to fall into his place. Yes he was annoying but his story actually draws emotion when watching such as the scene in prison with his father. That said, I still hate him for showing up on the docks in Italian leather

Sadly, by the end of the show I think he was already there.

I can't believe I forgot he was involved in that scene! Like I said it's been a while and I'm just getting back onto season 3. I just remember him screaming at the crack heads to step the frick back then showing no remorse for lying about the package

My strong Christian upbringing makes me believe everyone is redeemable and can become a good person.

However, a young man with Kennard's history, man I honestly don't know.

Carver shows signs of moral improvement. He makes mistakes but I think he learns from them. Herc is just a dumbass meathead incapable of thought and reflection.

Wee Bay was a comedic character and was actually shown some redemptive qualities when he gave up Naymond.

There are at least a dozen more characters more reprehensible.

Despite a number of good choices like corrupt politicians, heinous criminals, and mischevious policemen, I'm having a hard time not giving it to Scott Templeton.

Seriously, frick that guy. He's got a severe case of Punchhisface Syndrome. I can excuse some of the behavior from the other characters due to society, need, or compulsion, but this guy is just a dishonest, self righteous frick.

Sorry if this has been covered. I just finished the series last night and needed to vent about this guy.


I can go along with this.

Ziggy was maybe the least likable, but I don't know if most "reprehensible" really fits him. He was just a total frick up. I feel kind of bad for him that he just sucked that much


Zackly. Ziggy is "worst character"*, but not "most reprehensible".



*arguably
