S2 is my favorite and I know a lot of people dislike it. Nicky Sobotka is my favorite character.


I always like S2 too. It's better on a rewatch. Nicky was a great character. Pablo Schreiber doesn't get enough love as an actor.

I actually like Ziggy's character a lot too.



I hated that MFer. Which means James Ransone played that part really well.

I started out really liking Daniels, but, at the end of the day, he cucked out for his ex-wife



I think he was just tired of the shite and refused to juke the stats. Marla Daniels was simply the messenger.

Going down the youtbe wormhole one day, Marlo meets him in jail the first time and goes, "S'up boris?"

Never caught that before.

Clay Davis is quite possibly my favorite character of any show ever.

Blows my mind he didn't crack your list of like 15.

It wasn’t really a “top 15”. It was more just a random list of characters with a lot of screen time

Great character - it’s just that Clay Davis didn’t have that much screen time

That's hard to answer.

For the police, either Freamon or Bunny.

For the gangsters, either Wee-bey or Slim.

Bunk is the best character and it’s not close imo. He’s natural po-lice and serious about the work. But also has many of the best/funniest lines in the show. Almost not fair to include him because they gave that character so much material to work with.

It's been fun watching Marlo and Daniels on Bosch. Daniels is basically playing the same character, and Marlo couldn't be any more different.

I like all the characters so I’ll just pick out a couple of my favorite scenes.

Snoop in the hardware store.
McNulty and D’Angelo’s mom when she comes in to ask about her son’s suicide.
McNulty and Bunk doing the “frick” scene
Carver and Herc get ambushed in the terrace.
The musical montage when Frank Sobotka gets killed
Omar and Brother Mouzone
All of the lawyer’s scenes

The only character I really didn’t like was Carcetti. I thought he was awesome in Game of Thrones, but didn’t think he brought much as the mayor
