@@raymondsims7042 Sopranos is a deep study of an evil man and the men around him who justify themselves and their actions. There are never any moments of empathy for the victims whether it's an old lady robbed and murdered, or a pregnant woman beaten to death. We always see the viewpoint of the criminal. But in the long run, what makes Sopranos work is the situation comedy aspect of it: who doesn't love the sheer stupidity and quotable lines? Also in the long run, Sopranos just repeats itself with its winning formula and then runs out of gas and runs on way too long on fumes. The Wire on the other hand has plenty of empathy for the victims of crime, the murdered innocents, criminals and cops are all deeply felt. The Wire focuses on groups of people who dedicate their lives to making a difference in the world, whether it's the cops, criminals, teachers, politicians. And in the long run, it's all for nothing, nothing changes, and the game starts again with new players. The Wire is a complete series that drives its point home in a devastatingly manner and really the show that rises above all.

The wire can literally teach you life lessons. *Lesson:* you think it’s one way, but it’s another way. *Lesson:* chase drugs, you get drug dealers, you chase the money, and you don’t know where it’ll take you. *Lesson:* there you go caring when it’s not your turn to care. *Lesson:* the job won’t save you, it won’t make you whole, it won’t fill your A up. *Lesson:* every job, career, system in place has a game to be played and there are winners, losers, and victims. *Lesson:* the players will always change but the game stays the same.

One of the best shows in existence.

I watched the Wire at the tinder age of 12-13 and I came in watching season 4 which blew my FUCKING MIND because while watching it I knew even back then it spoke to my own experiences in middle school just with an adult perspective of the "why" it is the way it is. Easily one of the most important tv series of the modern age of television. Also Little finger is here playing politics! So many later to become big names are here, Michael B.
