@bluechao and everyone else. It's also about how we let corruption (in this case, financial corruption) persist in U.S. society. Common sense would dictate that people would be OUTRAGED about politicians, governmental agencies, and corporations stealing from people (just like Snot's friends should have not allowed him to play). But people allow it to persist. Why? The best explanation we can offer-It's all in the game. Or, more simply, that's just the way things are.

@WisdomISeek It means most simply that in America everybody gets their chance to win or lose, you can't stop someone from trying the game. But in a bigger way it speaks to how, even on the street, there is this sense that everyone is allowed to try and make it, even if the chances are very slim and the penalty for failure is often a very short life. The reality is that most people don't really have a chance, it's just an illusion, but that understanding comes by watching much more of the show.

@scab2341 "convincing in its realism and objectivism,"

I think you mean "objectivity." Objectivism is a philosophy espoused by Ayn Rand that is pretty much the antithesis of what David Simon, creator of The Wire, believes in. In fact, this show was in part a repudiation of ideologies like Objectivism, which he thinks are part of what caused the kind of societal degradation we see in the show.

I think you meant Emmys, not Grammys. Anyway you're right, I'll never understand why the show didn't win anything.
