I just finished the last episode. The Wire is the most honest show that I have ever experienced. Not being pessimistic when I say that there will never be a show which will have me hooked for all its 60 hour runtime. Where crime shows these days (or even in fact in the 2000s) relying heavily on the thriller aspects, The wire always had one perspective set up in its narrations which was to hold a mirror to the societal imbalances and prejudices. The show is not as much plot driven as it is narration driven. The characters don't mature in the way you would expect them to. And now that I'm done with the show, I'm having a serious crisis.
