9 Major Reasons It's Never Too Late to Watch The Wire

Each season of The Wire hones in on a different aspect of city government — from the police department to the mayor's office. The show is particularly good at depicting the frustrations brought on by bureaucracy and the inability to enact any sort of real change as a result. What's interesting is that the show also follows what happens when officials, like Police Major Howard "Bunny" Colvin, manage to circumvent the system and "f*ck the bosses."
