The Wire is not one of the very popular TV shows in TV history. It comes under good rated and series finale of this good rated series was also good rated. Okay, don’t you think what do I mean by good-rated (it’s my way to evaluate any episode). Good rated means 8 out of 10. Well rated means 9 out of 10 and best rated means yeah 10 out 10 and sometimes 11 out of 10, but very rarely. Ha ha
Let’s back to our main point from where we started. On this episode, Carcetti reacts to a damaging report presented by Pearlman and Daniels. Their choices are either to clean up or hide the dirt. McNulty asks Landsman to pull police off the hopeless case as he wants to put the case to an end.
Haynes finds little support for his concerns about reporters work from the bosses. Dukie is looking for an old mentor to take a loan. A cat and mouse game is going on between Levy and Pearlman. So, this was the story on series finale. Now, tell me was not it a depressing end? No, it was not. In fact, series finale ended just as it was planned for and I am satisfied with the way series finished. My pick from this finale episode:-
Bunk: How are you not in jail!
McNulty: I don’t know. The lies so big people can’t live with it I guess.
The wire, really an extraordinary series and the characters, plots and themes and everything was so strong and hard hitting. It’s impossible not to be shaken out of the complacency of living in the best society after watching this show.
