I think the core of season 5 is David Simon unleashing his frustration upon his former profession, as he was a crime reporter for the Baltimore Sun for over a decade. It's a criticism of the media's obsession with sensationalism, while ignoring the real social problems that affect many more people. Gus Haynes is basically Simon's self-insert, and I'm certain that Templeton is based upon actual reporters he knew. It's frustrating to watch them all focusing on this fake serial killer story, and I think that's the point. Simon wants us to feel the frustration he felt with his former colleagues. That's my take, anyway.

There are not 6 or 7 episodes left this season. There are 4. It's just too short for everything.

Yeah unfortunately the serial killer angle is not my favorite plot line right now lol Omar is indeed crashing out, his reckless abandonment is kinda sad to see tbh. I really liked the shootout scene tho.

The guy with Omar in Episode 5 is a real life former stick up kid who was one of the inspirations for Omar. He also jumped out of a building to escape a shootout in real life, except he jumped from a few stories higher. David Simon asked him what was going through his mind, and he said "I was just thinking about not catching some hot ones." lol He died about ten years back, RIP Donnie Andrews

You asked how Baltimore let the show live, the mayor and other elected officials were proud of the show and the spotlight it shone on their city...until Season Three when they started covering politics. Then they said the show wasn't realistic and they didn't like it so much anymore lol. You can honestly say the same about TV critics and how their perspective shifted with this season when Simon decided to focus on problems within the media.

McNulty's look towards Templeton after he says "He made another call?" is what made this season click for me. Like, oh! It's a satire. That's what they're doing. Excellent.
