that's like saying dexter is pro-murder or breaking bad's pro-abusing your family. you don't want your main character getting go-away heat from the audience when you're making a tv show.

You’re kind of making my point — all the shows you’ve mentioned are basically character studies of flawed “hero’s”. The wire is something entirely different. There is no comparison.
