Yeah but just compare their IMDB ratings and their Wikipedia pages. The Wire is 9.3 and has ten citations for the paragraph claiming its the best show ever. Mad Men is 8.7 and has three citations for a similar claim.

The Wire is a great show. Any younger skewing male platform like Reddit or IMBb will rate it highly. It appeals more to that demo than a show like Mad Men or some thing like The Crown. Seems to me the Emmy Awards mean a bit more than IMBb ratings or wiki citations.

The Emmys gave GoT season 7 and 8 more accolades than Better Call Saul in its entire run. They have just as much legitimacy as a website that can be spammed with dummy ratings.
