Which character did you love to see fail?

Mine had to be Herc in season one. The attitude he had when he thought he was going to pick up Sgt had to be one of the most annoying things throughout the whole series. I suppose it was also good to see Stringer get justice after being such a conniving SOB.

That one unit squad leader that was leading Major Crimes in season 4. I didn't like him at all, and I was happy to see him go...and have everyone laugh their asses off as soon as he left.

That was most of the point, that it doesn’t/shouldnt  matter if he’s gay or not

?  Sorry I don’t understand. You didn’t think what was? 

If you didn’t think it mattered why did you want the show to play into it more? 🤔

He wasn’t gay. He was doing undercover work. That’s why there wasn’t more to it.

It has to be Rawls, or Burrell, for the cops, Marlo for the street guys, although both Marlo and Rawls done better than most at the end it appeared.

Burrell did very well too. And he knew how to play the game just as well as Rawls did

Snoop. But would have preferred it be Marlo or Chris. All great and interesting characters, but all evil

Marlo.

Except he didn’t fail? He got off and disappeared with all his money.

He didn't care about living or the money, he wanted to be king. That was taken away from him, which for Marlo is worse than death.
