The casting guys on that must have really liked the Wire.
I thought this for a while but after rewatching it recently, season 3 is probably my favourite season. fuck rating the season though
Reminder that if you rate seasons, or characters, David Simon would like to murder you.
You posted a picture if the best season.

judging the season you gotta consider the effectiveness of the story to explore the drug war and the way power accumulates and protects itself through the peter principle and cronyism.
The rise of Mayor Carcetti, eventually presiding over an equally corrupt and incompetent city council despite all the hope he embodied for change is probably the most clear story about all the issues. Season 3 is also, unfortunately, where the frankly dumb idea of 'hamsterdam' comes into play which while criticized for not being perfect is still kind of the only 'solution' to the drug war and Bunny is still presented in a favorable light from then on, even when he later gets involved with the kids.
There are hints that Carcetti is more politicaly ambitious than he has integrity or knowledge of the drug and crime problem when he uses war rhetoric just like all the other dumb politicians by the end of s 3.
Carceti only completely loses all his integreti at the end of s 5, though when he covers up the fake serial killer scandal that happened under his watch, making him exactly the same as Royce by the end.
IMHO 3 and 5 are the 'best' seasons, the most clear and purposeful even if some of David Simon's biases are presented as facts.

the idea of hamsterdam is pretty smart in the context that most of the violence in the city stems from drugs and territory disputes, so removing those removes a lot of the impetus for violent crime
i don't think it'd play out in real life like it did in the show obviously but the idea does have a relatively sound foundation
