Agreed.It's still really good but I think the last season of The Wire is definitely the weakest if I had to pick one.
McNulty and the serial killer plot was funny at times but was way too unrealistic, bordering on just ridiculous. I liked the print media focus with The Sun and Gus but even then the characters were either totally good or bad, no shades of 'grey'.
Flaws that weren't in any of the other seasons.
Oh yeah and how Omar finished up was such an anti climax for one of TV's greatest characters.
Yep season 4 the best by far. Shame Shell quit watching before that might have enjoyed it with the kids and the school system focus.Agreed.
Hard to follow season 4, and the cast made S5 better than it was written. For me it's an epilogue rather than a season in its own right.
Didn't mind Omar's conclusion.
Can the Swans plz turn up in the 2nd half LukeParkerno1.
