Finishing "The Wire"

We have now finished the final episode of 'The Wire' Upon finishing the season my views on certain aspects of the series has changed. At the start I was a bit confused as to what was going on other than drug deals and police raids, coming the end I was still a little confused but but have the general idea and details, and came to know the various themes. Overall I fouind this series to be very thought provoking and has opened my eyes to see what's beneath the surface, to find the hidden meanings
