DAVID SIMON (CREATOR): Whatever season it had been, if I had five, six, seven seasons, the capstone was going to be the media, because the last critique I wanted to send was, “If all this is true, if this is what the drug war is, if this is what the city government is about, if this is what public education is about, where were we? What was our attention drawn to? What were we jerking off to where we couldn’t actually tend to our society?” That’s the last thing to say: we turn the camera back to the audience and go, “You’re complicit.”
