It was Adolf Hitler, who said: "The bigger the lie, the more people follow her." Such a lie dissolved on 1 September 1939, the attack on Poland, the Second World War. And such a lie intended for the fifth year of the acclaimed HBO series The Wire the events of last season. After the city of consuming drugs in the ghettos of Baltimore, the criminal activity on the docks, the corrupt city politics and the derelict school system, David Simon and Ed Burns devoted to the last ten episodes of their creation, the dying newspaper industry. And with it the last piece of the puzzle in its Zeitgeist analysis of an urban problem area.
than in any previous seasons of shows now on parallels between the two main strands. Both the newspaper The Baltimore Sun "and the police suffer from savings from their respective headquarters and get instructions to do more with less. What has the newspaper editor Gus Haynes around (Clark Johnson) to do so that people can not read its medium, to the police on a housing bust in Carcettis mayor (Aidan Gillen) back school policy. The result are on the one hand some of the job layoffs and on the other side of unpaid overtime and poor working conditions.
This in turn has a direct impact on the special unit of McNulty (Dominic West), Freamon (Clarke Peters), Greggs (Sonja Sohn) and Sydnor (Corey Parker Robinson) and their investigation of Marlo Stanfield (Jamie Hector). A savings of pursuing such action is for the time being suspended, which drives a disillusioned McNulty back into alcoholism and promiscuity. To obtain its desired resources, McNulty meets a serious decision and begins Unconfirmed reports dead homeless people to dress up as suspected serial killings. With The help of cheating reporter Scott Templeton (Thomas McCarthy) takes the lie then to grow.
And like most characters in The Wire Templeton also has an example from real life. It is based on journalists like Stephen Glass, who from 1995 to 1998 wrote for the magazine The New Republic "while faking quotes and articles content. In view of the job decline Templeton sees his job in jeopardy, and starts first has to style some of his posts before he dives in head first with McNulty's lies construct. As special as the running gag is also the claim of the editor, the Dickensian to follow the point of the story. Sun adapiert the sixth, The Dickensian Aspect indicates, like most of the episode title tag from the newspaper industry.
The acts in the editorial room of the Baltimore Sun and the homicide are similar is often suggested, for example, when journalists are like police officers in a meeting on the alleged homeless serial killer. The fact that both institutions have to deal with the motto "more with less" and each have a liar in his own series that draws attention to his work, the fifth season gives this regard a nice touch of two-sided illumination of the same Theme (and ultimately the use of "top" with the consequences of their own doing). Almost more than the media, are "lies" the theme of the fifth season.

For the same faces of the now promoted to Colonel Daniels (Lance Reddick) in conflict with the promises of Carcetti during the election campaign that this does not seem to hold because of the financial hole in the registry. And Marlo is drawn must Rumschlag with lying, if his street credibility of different peripheral figures in the dirt. Above all, Omar (Michael K. Williams), who is lured by Marlo from exile back to Baltimore and a personal Vendetta starts. Lying and deception to sneak in Proposition Joe (Robert F. Chew) co-operative with Marlos scrupulous and uncompromising behavior does not seem to harmonize.
Marlos efforts to eliminate Joe and right to substitute the source of his drugs, lead to the return of some familiar faces such as Avon (Wood Harris) and Sergei (Chris Ashworth) in Unconfirmed reports and by Spiros (Paul Ben-Victor) and the Greeks (Bill Raymond) in React Quotes . In any case, Simon and Burns made efforts to win the final series of figures from the previous seasons for a few cameos. A reunion there is in the course of the season with Nick Sobotka (Paul Schreiber), Poot (Tray Chaney), Namond (Julito McCullum) and Randy (Maestro Harrell) and Colvin (Robert Wisdom), Stan Valchek (Al Brown) and even Judge Phelan (Peter Gerety).
The driving force this year but the duo-Freamon McNulty, go literally at nothing to an illegal interception of mobile phone Marlos and thereby come to his connection to his drug business. By its action creates McNulty it true that getting many of the policemen, especially in the Carver (Seth Gilliam) command, finally paid their overtime, at the same time he removed himself from his criminal Activities of colleagues such as Bunk (Wendell Pierce). Bauer roles covered in this well-known "victims" as Sydnor, or indeed the now redundant, but still reliably incompetent Herc (Domenick Lombardozzi) to.

should be no surprise that torpedo as before political-institutional vanity of the actual investigation. So want to McNulty and Freamon cede the Stanfield case but to the FBI, the Attorney General assume the investigation but not because of wounded feelings due to Carcetti. And because Baltimore's Attorney Bond (Dion Graham) for career reasons Clay Davies (Isiah Whitlock, Jr.) wants to introduce a municipal court is, whether this Case during the season up in smoke. Other driving forces inside the town hall as Neres Campbell (Marlyne Afflack) further supports the thesis of the series artist, that the U.S. is always politically even shoot in the leg.
High The Wire in their last ten episodes on it once again sets up a gear and allows himself probably because of the reduced number Episode no significant outliers down. The fifth season advanced to the contrary, most convincing of the series, in which projects the result Clarifications as an emotional climax, followed by Not for Attribution and Late Editions . The fact that the final episode -30 - is as much a series season finale should, given the fact that the series would, in principle, after each season to end do not interfere. However, it is also striking in the final season that featured some character development in haste, as they have previously received no advance.
Given that many critics have compared the show with a tragedy are the final developments for most of the characters, not tragic, but still a consequence not only of their behavior in this, but also the previous seasons. Contrary to previous years, the private lives of the characters but spared this time, we see some scenes between McNulty and Beadie (Amy Ryan) from. Instead, Simon and Burns focus on their plot structure of the lie to the homeless serial killings, the episode at the end of the series brings some character to change with it, whether its the self-reference been made, however, seem a bit redundant. Total
can be stated that The Wire is after five seasons a very good, but not the best or most important series of all time. Although Simon and Burns tried (successfully) to show as many facets of urban, yet offered The Wire really rare characters or actions that appeared not previously been in other media. Nevertheless, It is an extraordinary achievement for years to give the audience dozens of figures that were not only interesting, but that one could also identify whether they are "good" or were "evil." And finally, Michael K. Williams reserves right when he says: "Life goes on. The game do not stop. "
