Definitely one of the best TV shows ever made. Maybe even the best. Just a phenomenal work on every level.
The last season unfortunately, treated the media with kid gloves, even romanced the notion of the common man reporter. I wish they had taken a harder look at it, and exposed more of the rot and corruption in journalism too.
But even the last season of the Wire is still better than 98% of other TV shows out there.
quote:Caution mild spoilers… I enjoyed the last season the first time around. But I have become a little jaded about it. The brilliance of The Wire is its unflinchingly look into the workings of a city - crime, police, politics, corruption, education. They pulled no punches and exposed the worst while still showing people trying to do good things in bad situations.
