They can't take out all the drug drama or rehash earlier parts of the path they've been on. They said they always knew they'd have to end the show at a certain point no matter how successful it was because this pressure-cooker storyline can't just continue forever and still work. While it's lost some of it's realism, I think the amount of believability the show holds is still a huge part of the show's charm.

Yeah, acting is what sets it apart from other traditional tv/movie fare.
And the kid getting shot in the face. Hats off.
