Simon can rest assured that he's created something unique that will last well beyond the confines of its prime time ratings prison.

David Simon's sprawling epic of urban decay is as good as this startlingly brilliant show has ever been - and it has always been among TV's best.

The Baltimore-based series is still one of the most daring dramas in the history of the medium.

The dense mythology of HBO's The Wire, painstakingly created over five novelistic seasons, has enough drama packed inside to be easily spun out for the next five, ten, 15 years.

The Wire certainly is Dickensian.

The show will go out as one of the medium's greatest.

This episode quickly reminds us of how completely believable and engrossing the world Simon has created is. Every moment feels genuine.

If there's one problem with The Wire, it's that, five seasons in, too many beautifully realized characters fight for too little room - a gem of a complaint to have.

The fifth and final season may be the most overtly farcical, but only because things in this slightly fictionalized Baltimore have become, if you can imagine, worse than ever. When the going gets tough on The Wire, the tough get funny.

Not exactly a Hallmark card, but one hell of an artistic achievement.
