Though it spent much of its acclaimed existence under the pop-culture radar, despite annual appearances on critics' best-of-year lists, this heartbreaking and searing masterpiece of urban decay and corruption will live on as all great literature does.

And as it launches its final 10-week run, the sprawling drama clearly still has a lot of big questions on its mind.
