We've now watched two story arcs on Wiseguy. The first features Ray Starkey as a gangster who needs a friend.  The finale of the arc is especially cool. The second features a deliriously over-the top Kevin Spacey as Mel Profitt--one of the most powerful criminals in the world who has major psychological and emotional issues. The show is about an undercover agent (Ken Wahl, actually, his hair is the star), who infiltrates criminal enterprises.  His handler is Frank McPike, played by Jonathan Banks, who played Mike on Breaking Bad.  His deadpan delivery is always on target.  The McPike character has some similarities to Mike, and I have to think that he was cast as Mike at least in part due to his character on Wiseguy.

Both of these arcs are well worth watching.  The '80's hair alone is worth a thumbs-up.

BTW, I think that there was more than a little bit of Spacey's messed-up real-life personality in his character.  You can't stop watching him even though there's a train wreck a'comin'.
