* BigBad: From a narrative standpoint, he would be this as the head of the extremely corrupt Gun Trace Task Force that's under federal investigation. However, it's deconstructed as the series goes out of its way to show that the entire system is the real problem and props up people like Jenkins.

* BigBadWannabe: Far from some mastermind, Jenkins is little more than a thug with a badge that figured out how to cheat the system, and relies on using his reputation to protect him more than any sort of tact in covering his tracks. The show makes it clear that as long as the leadership structures of police focus on arrest and seizure numbers while protecting and rewarding dirty cops, there will be many more people like
Jenkins.



* HistoricalBeautyUpdate: The real Wayne Jenkins was more chubby and plain looking, a far cry from the handsome and rugged Jon Bernthal.

* HistoricalUglinessUpdate: The real Hersl had a youthful, friendly-looking face compared to Josh Charles, who depicts him as always scowling and visibly looks his age (Charles and Hersl are very close in age).
