I watched the first two episodes of the fifth and final season of The Wire tonight and it's as good as ever. I will miss the school scenes from season 4 but Michael and Dukie (and Bug) have been seamlessly incorporated into the show with new roles and the newspaper story arch looks promising to say the least (the black editor is a great character). It really is firing on all cylinders - it's so good that I don't hesitate to call it the best show of all-time at this point (though admittedly my sense of all-time in the TV universe only goes back 10 years at the most).
