I always thought S4 was the best, because of the "full circle" nature of the kids progressing to become the next generation.
Anyway, I've only ever watched it all the way through once. It's the TV equivalent of climbing Everest as the early episodes of S1 are so hard to get through, downloading the blu-rays and gonna make a serious attempt to get through it

Everything to do with the mayor’s office is boring and unrelated with the rest of what’s happening. It’s suppose to be a season focusing on the outdated fallacies of the media but it keeps going back to what’s happening with the big wigs in city hall which they already covered greatly in a previous season.
They only tie it in with the fallout of the project tombs and the fake serial killer, both of which I’d rather watch more of than little finger griping behind a desk about how much support he’s going to get in the governor’s election.

I think the best summarization of the series is Bodie and McNulty talking in the park. How the "game" changes you and how him and Bodie are both just pawns in a bigger game that they have no say or chance for change in direction.

well it ties in that the money for police get disappeared into the school hole, and though they COULD get the money, it wouldn't be politically advantageous to do so, and so they keep the police underfunded, despite carcetti rising to mayor by focusing on crime. it all ties into the slow death of a city. the bad part of season 5 has more to do with the whole serial killer thing is a bit too far-fetched in how mcnulty manages to fool the whole city into going along.

He is an amazing creator.
Its amazing how even his show the Corner holds up today. The Wire is a masterpiece, and The Corner was kind of him finding the story he wanted to tell. He opened the story up and expanded it into the police side of things. That time in life was so crazy. 1997-2005 was an incredible time to be coming of age.

Too bad he got severe TDS and decided to defend the same kind of crooked politicians he scorned in his show when Trump pointed out how crooked inner city politicians are.

Don't forget Dukie almost getting his life turned around then ending up on the corner slinging. Ending of S5 was even worse when he gets on the needle.
