This sounds like a fun thread - now, where is my popcorn
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
Great show (until they jumped the shark in season 5...)

Yeah, season five sucked balls. Season three was the best.

The fifth season has some good ideas but it laid it on much too thick and ended up being the weakest. As most people say, the 3rd Season is the best but the 2nd has a lot of good stuff going for it as well despite what a lot of people say. It gave us the Greek afterall, who along with Lester Freamon is easily the coolest character in the show
Have watched them all again in the last year and for me Season 4 was the strongest, it's the crushing inevitability of the kids decline. Season 2 surprises you with how good it was when you watch it again. The first time I was just annoyed it wasn't more of season 1. Ziggy's arc is brilliant.
5 is the weakest purely because the fake serial killer thing seems so ludicrous, and the newspaper infighting seems like it's interesting to David Simon, but not really to us. But there are some great moments and story arcs in it. Mcnulty's wake, Omar's death, Daniel's inevitable shafting with the stats, Marlo's move on the co-op and everything involving Method Man/Cheese, the whole storyline with Herc and Levy.

Rewatching it right now. In the middle of the fourth.
It's hard for me to pick between three and four. Three goes heavy into the mechanics of the black market and has Stringer Bell, while four does local politics.
And while five is last, it still is better than virtually everything else on television, and it has some fantastic stories as Mike says. The last few episodes were very, very good. The way they showed the permanence of the institutions in the city, and continuity of institutional roles was very clever. Michael becomes Omar. Daniels becomes Burrell. Carcetti becomes Royce. Clay Davis survives. Co-ops collapse. Kids get shafted.

I think the problem with four and five is that they focus too much on City Hall and high level police department politics. I enjoyed the more "street" leve feal of 1,2 and 3. The School arc was good and was definetly down to earth, but there was still all that boring City Hall BS.

I started watching it in three, and saw the first and second after that. Four was the strongest when you step back, but the third season is what got me hooked.

I missed your edit yesterday. Also, Dookie becomes Bubbles.
Really glad that Poot and Bubbles seem to escape the game by the end. The only two that really manage it.
