This series never ceases to amaze me. The focus is on politics and the media, using the never ending drug wars, homeless, education and corruption to blend the story together.
It's sad to see my favorite characters go away, however. I won't spoiler anyone; however, the loss of a major villian was hard to take.
Now, the detectives are creating a phony panic of a serial killer to get the time & resources needed to go after the big baddie (Marlowe). This is a an interesting twist I really want to follow.
Half way through the final season, and I'm hooked, as usual.
