I just finished the last episode, and I’m inclined to think so. David Simon says he wanted to do a novel on film. I think he succeeded. Possibly the Great American Novel of its time.
But I am subject to enthusiasms, and possibly this one will wear off after a few days or weeks.
Update: Spoilers allowed in the comments. But if you’re going to post a spoiler, especially if it’s pretty significant, e.g. whether or not a character survives, please include a paragraph or so of non-spoiler stuff—garbage if necessary—to keep the spoilerage off the Recent Comments list.
