Is Season 5 of the Wire good compared to the others?
Shallow:
If you like the wire and you like the characters and don't them ruined forever then don't buy or watch season 5. I wish someone told me this before it came out. If they decided to re-do the season and pretend 5 never happened I'd be all for it.

Just finished Season 5. It was by far the Best Season in my opinion. Spectacular television. The way everything came together at the end, with Bubbles moving up in life meant moving up to the living room floor. Method Man saying Prop Joe didn't mean shit anymore, and Tall Man gunning him down out of respect for Joe. I mean, it was a great finish.
And the story lines throughout with Omar hunting Marlo, and McNulty doing anything to get funding, and so on.

But you didn't find it completely out of tone with the rest of the series? It's not so much that I hated the season on it's own. Like Godfather 3, if all you saw was that season, or if season 5 had been the first season of the show, it still would have been better than 90% of TV that year. But because the series had a certain style almost through out, it seemed silly to me.
Season 5 of the wire is the best Will Smith film, or season of The Shield, on TV. But compared to the rest of the Wire it's too hokey, over the top, and far fetched to be placed with the other seasons.
