Well, let's give my thoughts a little shake.
S1 is a typical cops vs drug dealers story
S2 is a class struggle, unions good, corporations bad story, without mentioning unions shot themselves with unreasonable demands and uncompetitiveness
S3 is a ridiculous legalize drugs and utopia will happen subplot, and a resolution to S1
S4 is a plight of city schools story, teachers good, government didn't give them enough money, without mentioning every single school political problem on the map is literally some teachers union bs. Baltimore, where the show is based in, is supposed to receive frggin BILLIONS of dollars a year in feddy funding for everything, trust me, it's not the lack of funding that's killing you, it's the corruption.
S5 is a decline of journalism story, with a hack journo writing made up stories and an angel editor telling him off for it. I guess we can forgive the show for being made before the age of clickbait, but it's not because of singular bad apples journalism is dead, I struggle to find five three journalists in the country worth reading.
I like the show, I think it's well written. I don't agree with it's politics, and if it had been more heavy-handed I would have dropped it in a heartbeat.
