I am starting episode 8, and I gotta say it is jumping the shark a bit here. The whole fake a crime thing was funny for an episode or two, but it is a bit too much now.
Both the story lines go too far over the top. Jimmy's serial killer and the reporter. They do the ending pretty well, but I do wish at least Jimmy wasn't so ridiculous.
Omar just died. Sad.

I didn't enjoy Season 5 nearly as much as any of the others, for the reasons outlined here already. I hated the fake crime angle and didn't care for the reporting angle to "the Wire". That being said, the last 2 episodes really did a great job tying up the entire series. Made it worth watching the whole season for sure.
@August_West or anyone else who is a Wire junkie. And, FWIW, I don't think this is a spoiler but tread lightly, .
They never tied up the storyline with Daniels, right? They insinuated at various times that he was involved in something crooked, but they never answered what that was, if I'm correct. If I missed it, let me know what it was because that always sorta bugged me.

At that point to do what they wanted?It was the point in the series where the producers had carte blanche to do what they wanted, and it showed.
