Any fans of the Wire on here? What do you guys think of the latest season?

The Wire is probably my favorite show on TV, but tbh I think it's been a little weak this year, with the exception of the episode where Marlo took out Prop Joe which was incredible. Don't get me wrong, it's still very good, just not up to the caliber of previous seasons imo. Things are just getting too far-fetched for a show that is so realistic. The McNulty fake serial killer thing is pretty freaking ridiculous, and Omar jumping out of the 7th story or whatever window and surviving with just a slightly busted leg belonged in a XXX film not the Wire. The newspaper and Carcetti stuff is fairly boring to me too.

I'm probably just nitpicking because of my obscenely high expectations for the show though. I hope the season closes out strong. And I'd highly recommend that anyone who hasn't seen the show to download/buy on dvd the earlier seasons which are amazing.
