5th season definitely had some problems, and I will agree that the serial killer plotline really did kill the immersion and realism of the show a wee bit. I think that was done dilberately though, to poke fun at the sensationalization of the typical serial killer motif while completely ignoring the very real serial killer who is nowhere near as "sophisticated" as say the BTK Killer.
I will definitely say that I prefered the Barksdale Crew, but at the same time we actually got a glimpse into their lives and saw their motivations, we didn't really get to see that all that much with the Stanfield Crew except with Michael.
