It’s funny. The Wire was my favorite show ever, while I was watching it. As the years went by, other shows (Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Ect.) would take its place as my #1. The funny part is, that those shows only surpassed it for a short time. I can honestly say that The Wire passes the test of time, as the highest quality of television ever.

I watch the Wire start to finish once a year. Usually in the winter when you don’t want to go out. It’s like listening to a favourite piece of music. I know what’s going to happen, I know what people are going to say but it still hits me in the feels. I laugh. I genuinely cry, especially with Bubbles, whom I love with all my heart, more than most real people in my life. The dialogue is beautiful. Once you tune in to the slang in the projects it’s like understanding a lyrical foreign language. Nothing else comes close.

I get your points but if I had to pick a person, Marlo is in the conversation at least in the later seasons, he's stone cold n has no issues having anyone killed

The Wire will still be worth remembering in another 20. Thanks for keeping it real!

Julito Mccullum (Namond Brice) made such a good point about how much of the audience perceived namond, while Namond was really just a 14 year old kid. "Namond was a bitch" "Namond didn't deserve to be the one to make it" Literally talking about a child.

People are really odd. The only emotion I felt about Namond was pity, for the mother he had and the expectations he was under. Maybe because I was an annoying and insecure shit as a kid, so I could relate. I wanted all four to be ok, and what happened to Randy and Duquan was so sad, but damn, I’m glad a couple of them made it (if you count Michael being the new Omar).

Namand had crazy heart to step out of the projects and try to make it in a whole new world. F that. Being soft would’ve meant staying there and trying to be his daddy.

Keyma is right that is what makes the Wire the best show on television!! A judge change the way he sentence people!! Wow amazing.

Best thing put on TV in decades. A definite teaching moment from start to finish with the good, the bad, and the ugly not being the way you expect them to be. What touched me more than anything was the young kids, pushed into a world because they had nowhere else to go - no family, no future and no hope. It answers a lot of questions about why people do what they do and, hopefully, teaches us how to fix and repair society.

I enjoyed Breaking Bad and Mad Men, but it grinds me a little that those two shows got way more shine than a much deeper and more superior show, The Wire.

I never got into Breaking Bad - I couldn't get myself to carry on watching. I loved The Sopranos when it was on, and 6 feet under. Mad Men was amazing, but none of those iconic shows (and others) were ones I could watch over and over again, or all the way through. Remember these shows were episodic and broadcast once a week - watching all the episodes together, the way we watch shows now, can change the way you view the material. I can't do that with Mad Men. It's too much. The Wire is one of only a few shows that I'm happy to watch again and again, and I can watch it all the way through without breaks. It's that well-paced and just that good.

Damn, homie that played Landsman dropped some WEIGHT. Dude is damn near unrecognizable, good for him

Season 4 of The Wire will forever be the greatest season television will ever see in all of humanity. Because it focuses on how it all begins, hence the focus on abandoned homes, and how the generational curse will continue on… hence the circular imagery in the Season 4 intro. Just a cycle repeating itself.

I Love my City. Baltimore. Eastside I was raised different Love

Man Slim Charles was my favorite character

“The Wire” is the best crime drama series ever made. For a fictional tv series, you couldn’t get any closer to reality in portraying the city of Baltimore. The streets being brutal & unforgiving, the fall of the unions at the harbor, how poor the city became and how the school system and the kids suffered more then anyone else, the political divide between the black and white demographics, and the battle within the police system. It’s poor, rough, and a battle within all level of the system, regardless of who you were. A+

This show had so many layers, so many different perspectives Ive had to rewatch it. I’m on season 5 and they brought fentanyl when talking about homeless murder plot, shit floored me. I was telling a friend of mine that the show especially season 4 & 5 explains the plot of America RIGHT NOW!!!!!

Fantastic series! The acting was superb.

Thanks so much for this … this show was a masterpiece. Very grateful

I am SO GLAD I WAS ONE OF THOSE GENERATIONS that got to see Yhe Wire on BET late nights , man I remember seeing Omarnin the commercial , that infamous line ok f his " The Game is Out there , it's either play or get played " such nostalgia

Such a great show! I’ve watched it twice. So deep and wide, and so complex, yet very simple.

Nothing compares (now & then)

*Poot, you're the man for this hour's interview*

Namand had heart.

The only Villain in this show is the system.

I wish I never watched the wire. Don’t watch this show. Because afterwards no cop show will be good. I started with Power for example, but I rather watch the Wire again for the 50th time. When I’m finally arrive at the 5th season I get a smile at my face by thinking of McNulty as a serial killer😂

THE WIRE DESTROYED HBO; YOU CAN'T GO ANY HIGHER

If a show gets bad ratings that's usually a sure sign it's good.

I remember watching the Wire and in all honesty it's because it was a cop show. I soon realized it was much more than that. The thing is I couldn't seem to find others who were watching ,and this includes both black and white. Then all of a sudden people caught on. But alas no Emmys for this show! Total BS in that regard!
