HBO's ongoing series The Wire can be considered noir in its gritty depiction of a dysfunctional and corrupt social system which is inherently unfixable, and how that system affects the lives of those who live in it

the series will be concluding after this upcoming season. I am certain that Baltimore will not have been transformed into Utopia when the final credits roll
