Nice review of The Wire’s final episode HERE.

If you don’t want spoilers, don’t go anywhere near it. Don’t even read the first paragraph.

But here’s a spoiler-free taste nicely summarizing one of the show’s themes:

“The Wire” was always a tale of symmetry and disparity. In each season the unfairness and corruption of the streets was mirrored in a different layer of society — the police, the port, City Hall, the schools and the media. All along, individuals who tried to live up to their personal responsibilities were crushed by a vast, entangled system jerry-built to duck accountability.
