Sopranos, Succession, GoT, Band of Brothers, just to name a few. Still have some other shows on my list that I have yet to watch.

The Wire was good up to season 3, season 4 kinda boring but picked up towards the end, and S5 so far it’s interesting.

Found the one person who watched The Wire all the way through and said that S4 was the boring one…S4 is widely thought of as the best season of The Wire, if not the best season of all of TV. Different strokes and all that…

What was so great about S4? Basically just shows how the next gen gets caught up in that life or focus on school and try to do better.

I think it is pretty funny you say that The Wire was good up to a certain point....then don't mention the same about the Sopranos, huh Johnny Cakes? Or GOT for that matter. I mean honestly the Sopr-----cut to black screen.

Does it really need to be said though? The Sopranos only had one weak season and the ending. GoT was good all the way until s6, s7 weak, the ending trash. Still love the show though. The Wire for all the hype that show has it honestly does not live up to it. The only thing that makes it so well loved is because it is still relevant to society and police to this day. The actual story is basically follow police around to catch the bad guy like any other cop show. The Wire is a 5/10. Now I still have 6 more episodes in S5 so unless it blows me away it’s not looking all that great. Then again everyone likes different things.

It is the only authentic police procedural I have ever seen. It tells the story of the crime in Baltimore and looks at it from every possible angle. If it was lost on you and all you see is cops chasing robbers, don't know what to tell you except this: You are free to not like it, but you are not free to tell me why I do.

How am I telling you why you like it? I was just expressing my opinion about the show. I thought we were just having a discussion about what I said originally and then what you responded. There is nothing wrong with me not liking it just like how there is nothing wrong with you liking it. At the end of the day we can agree on watching whatever we like because we like it. Cheers.

All those are great shows. But as writing goes, I have yet to see anything come close to The Wire.
