The top brass are aware the serial killer is a fake, whilst Pearlman and Levy discuss Marlo's crew.
The writers explore the fallout of McNulty's scheme in typical The Wire fashion by showing all the human flaws in various institutions. Lots of personal interests are prioritised over everything and as much as certain moments should frustrate and anger the viewer, they feel ultimately plausible. Thankfully, some rays of light involving certain characters shine through all the darkness and are enjoyable moments to behold.
It is impossible to reveal much plot detail without spoiling, but it's safe to say that all characters have the opportunity to shine and no matter how much the players change, the game stays the same.
All actors are on great form, signing off in style.
The visuals are spectacularly good, as is the choice of music. Certain street scenes and cityscapes are used perfectly to conclude what is probably my favourite television show of all time.
My only negative about the episode is that it is the last one.
