Yesterday we finished watching The Wire. I believe it was a great idea to turn the last season into a parody of the entire show. Taking the comedic route allowed the creators of the show to lower the tensions of the previous seasons and close the show in a beautiful way.
The greatest problem with the show was that it had almost no women. And the only two or three women among the enormous cast of characters were not really women. The makers of the show were obviously aware of this problem and took it as far as possible in the character of the assassin who is supposed to be a girl but is supremely unconvincing as one.
But nobody can be perfect at everything. The show is brilliant even in spite of the absence of women.
