“Americans are stupid people by and large. We pretty much believe whatever we are told.” —The Wire

After waiting a year for the final season of the best show on television, HBO delivered the goods last night with the premiere of season five: Read Between the Lines.

The Wire is known for authentically depicting all aspects of urban life. Every episode peels back layers of hidden truths that are often startling, uncomfortable, and unforgettable. The season premiere packed a major punch that should serve as a serious wake up call to us all:

I’m glad that he said that he would retire from boxing and not let boxing retire him. With a record like his its clear why he’s the champ and as he put it he has nothing else to prove.
