it isn't.. you just didn't get it :) this is , along with Oz and Sopranos , one of the best series HBO ever produced.
An all time classic. And I don't say that lightly! At bit hard to understand at times due to the Baltimore slang but otherwise outstanding. Only Breaking Bad comes close!!

Fantastic serie! My favorit
Authentic dialogue, memorable characters and inspired writing make this one a classic, and a real pleasure to watch - more liked gorged. Addictive stuff.
THAT is a real TV show.
Absolutely awesome! A show which takes its time to develope the characters and the story. You have to watch at least 6 - 8 episodes until it really gets you. So many different people, jobs, characters, locations and feelings... I have never seen such a complex and very flexible show. It is telling the story of the police, of the "hood", of some dock gangster and finally of the politics and the press...
the fact, that some of the actors are really born and grown up in the locations makes this show so authentic. I have read, that some of them are real policemen and real "gangster" and had been in fights and arrestments long before the show had begun...
Enjoy it, take your time....
The first season really hit it off with me. But I guess I just can't follow a slow series. It was brilliant in its execution and I wish I could continue but from Season 2 it became the 'same old story'
Best TV Show ever.

Can be hard to understand with all the slang and complicated multilayer stories but it's a truly awesome tv series. Deep and thought provoking. I'm definitely going to watch it again someday
The best television show of ALL-TIME.
S01E07 of The Wire catapults the series from being just a great show into the loftiest of acclaim and praise – far past The Sopranos and into the conversation of, “this might just be the best show ever made.” And you know something? Turns out almost 20 years since it premiered, The Wire still is the greatest show ever made. Oh, indeed.
This one is firmed deeply into the following category, for me: "Things that have changed my life."

Also these questions you need to ask on the support website. There is a link at the bottom for that.
This was the best tv show i have ever watched. Nothing so far has even come close to it. Its funny and dramatic at the same time. It shows a grim culture of America that i wish never to see and it does it in a way that looks totally believable. To whomever thinks about watching this for the first time, you are in for one of the most amazing tv shows ever aired on tv. You won't be disappointed.
It's the best. Got it?
Such a great show, one of my favorite of all time. Season 4 is just heartbreaking...
TV at its very best, be warned this will ruin you for any other TV drama.
The Wire is the best TV series in history, so far. The realism of the narrative, the depth of the characters, the attention to detail in telling the thousand aspects of a great American city, make it an unparalleled narrative product.
I found this show by looking for the best HBO TV series ever. Calling this the best HBO series is not likely IMO, that honour would go to Six Feet Under or Band Of Brothers.
However in this series a lot of time is spend developing the characters on the street, the police at all levels and the corrupt politicians. The only thing that might have been portrayed better would be how drugs have ruined lives at the user level. There are no cliff hanger endings between the next show, no crazy action scenes, and some seasons don't have a nice wrap up at the end either. This show is a gritty look at life on the street and we get a deeper sense of what everyone is going through and that's what kept me interested right to the end. Well done.
Shame on me for having waited more than 20 years to see one of the greatest TV shows of all time. :sweat_smile:
Best contemporary TV show to watch. Even better than breaking bad due to lack of annoying characters like skyler.
I simply loved this show... A must see...
I finally get why people call it the best TV-show of all-time. It doesnt tell, it shows. All of its themes, all of the institutions, sheeeit... all of the characters even, have always got something in common. Reform is close to impossible and as we can observe in the show, everything will always repeat itself. After all... Its all a cycle of failure. The game is the game and always will be.
Classic. They don't make shows like this anymore. Sadly. I wished it never ended but hey all good things must come to an end.
It's a really good show but saying it's the best show of all time is ridiculous. The acting is sub-par, the characters are ones that we have seen a million times before, the themes are painfully obvious with absolutely no subtlety at all, and the directing is just above average. It's great if you're just looking for a show with a cool plot but it does not extend beyond that at all.
Great show well worth watching through until the end.
Some of the best character development ever!
The Wire is the best show I have ever watched. It truly is unmatched.
2nd greatest show of all time.
The best TV show ever made, not just because of they hype and not just because I love Baltimore. Very "academic" in that it makes you work to follow along. It's not designed to grab your attention with quick, easily digestible plotlines. Even better the second time around. Heartbreaking, funny, incredibly well-written and directed....must-see.
I just finished the last episode. The Wire is the most honest show that I have ever experienced. Not being pessimistic when I say that there will never be a show which will have me hooked for all its 60 hour runtime. Where crime shows these days (or even in fact in the 2000s) relying heavily on the thriller aspects, The wire always had one perspective set up in its narrations which was to hold a mirror to the societal imbalances and prejudices. The show is not as much plot driven as it is narration driven. The characters don't mature in the way you would expect them to. And now that I'm done with the show, I'm having a serious crisis.
One of the very best TV Series of course, but in recent TV history (which I began watching this (2016)) everything in this tv show are going slow. It's like watching breaking bad season 3 again and again without the plot running smoothly. If someone will create a remastered version and reduces the episode to 40' instead the 60' maybe this tv show be better.
This is the absolutely THE BEST tv show EVER!!!
Liked it, but not sure how it's the best
Great show I'm glad I didn't watch it when it came out I would have been waiting too long, Now I can just sit and watch.
Best serie ever!! thanks for this awesome tv show
The best , vraiment LA meilleure serie policiere jusqu'a present. Avec des personnages qui ont vraiment existé comme haven barksdale ou omar little. Rip prop Joe and the real Omar Little
All in the game!
This show is one of the strongest I have ever seen. If you love storytelling and character development this show is for you.
I’ve always seen people talking about The Wire being an amazing show.. finally decided to give it a shot. Simply amazing.
Each episode keeps me hooked and I just want to keep watching and go directly to the next.
I didn’t know what to expect with it being made more than twenty years ago, but the story is not the only amazing part.. it looks amazing too. I really enjoy the shots they use and the general aesthetic.
This show does a really good job dragging you into the story. All these different, but interesting characters. Along with displaying the inter-workings of all the different players in Baltimore and how they interact with each other. The cops, the citizens, the politicians, the criminals, the judges, and more. Every single one of them having their own ambitions and desires in the city of Baltimore. Showing the dark side of many people...
Definitely recommended.
Shady people hunting those who are even shadier. Intelligent, excellently written and boasting a mega ensemble of brilliant performances across the board, The Wire is a gripping police drama featuring socio-political commentary that remains uncomfortably relevant to this day.
You can stop watching after season 3. Season 4 barely has NcNulty and 5's plot is pretty ridiculous.
One of the best TV shows ever made, right up there with the Sopranos.
A brilliant show that makes you think. It requires your full attention and does not use heavy exposition. In fact, this show has high re-watch value, because a lot of subtle hints are shown along the way. If you watch closely, you'll notice things that don't add up. Seeing the characters figure these things out is brilliant to watch. The angle with Omar and Brother Mouzoune is a perfect example of this.
The Wire almost feels like reading a book, a very good book.
The greatest cop drama ever made. Period. If you don't like The Wire then you don't like outstanding acting with great stories that represent only a slightly fictionalized version of real life. Gritty with no politics, good luck finding that today.
Omar Little. Enough said.
The best of all time
wow superb highly recommended :thumbsup:
The best tv show of ALL-TIME
Best show ever, you heard
One of the best shows ever made for sure
it's worth it...hell of a watch
WOW.. What a great journey.
true epic. everything is so authentic!
They really made a whole show about how awful Baltimore is and never thought to address the smell
Loved the series. Miss it already and I just finished it. Seems like the last episode really was rushed. What sticks in my mind the most is the person Jimmy sees using at the end.
Hard to find any fault in a fantastic series.
Great show, one of if not the best ever.
One of the best TV shows ever and I saw a lot.

There aren't enough word for how great this show was! I mean fucking awesome!
greatest show ever created EVER . PERIOD
i can understand why this show is great, it makes any other cop drama look like total shit, but.... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......
there will never ever be a tv show like this, never.
One of the best ever.
best goddamn show ever!!!
One of my top three TV show ever! I love its realism. Everything is perfect: the acting, the story, the characters! "I got the shotgun, you got the briefcase"!
10/10 .. best tv drama ever
The Best Show Around!! Nuff said! Well i still have to get to season 5 i've had it sitting there for a couple years but i don't want to watch it coz it will be all over.
If you haven't watched this then do yourself a favour & do so!! there is no other show like it.
One of the best... Just finished right now
One of the best audiovisual material that i´have the pleasure to watch
Best show i ever watched.
Started 1 weeks ago, now I have seen every episode.
Mankind will never create a cop show as good as this.
Multi-dimensional authentic characters, epic dialog, great camera work and editing.
Currently watching it for the second time around and it's even better now.
If you like Simon's style, definitely check out "Tremé" as well.
Many recurring actors there.
Completely agree with dunpealhunter. This show is incredible. Sometimes it can be a bit slow but it's really just because they take their time in weaving the story. It all pays off in the end.
The finest thing about The Wire is its authenticity. In fact, it’s so authentic and realistic, that it might bore you. It doesn’t feel or entertain like a show—it’s like watching a documentary. I’m just having a hard time to feel excited or interested. The narration is great. But the entertainment aspect is lost. It’s like watching reality. That might be very attractive or very boring. You decide. Watch the first three episodes and you will know the time, pace and feel of this show.
RIP Michael K. Williams :candle:
I’m early into the second season and I still don’t quite grasp what makes this show so great.. it’s definitely good, but it’s not in the league of truly great TV like The Sopranos and Breaking Bad are.
Generally hailed to be the Greatest TV Show of All Time. Not a happy show by any means. I will say, though, that it's my plane show, so I know firsthand that sometimes it is embarrassing when the person next to you looks over and wonders what the heck you're watching (It doesn't shy away from nudity or violence).
Rip Michael Kenneth Williams. Here I go watching the wire again
Never gonna understand how it is considered one of the best shows ever, maybe because i am not from US. I was not even able to end the first season, I almost forced myself to keep watching until episode 7 but it's so boooooring.
It was pretty boring. I was expecting much more with this high rating
how can i see it
Ohhhhh baby. The brand new HD remaster in 16:9 of all the seasons of The Wire will be airing from Dec. 26-30 on HBO. Digital versions will be available to buy on Jan 5 and the BluRay will be released in the summer. In the words of the great Senator Clay Davis, "SHHHEEEIIITTTTTT".

This a show you don't want to miss! It took me 4 times to get through the first season and i regard it as the best TV show ever to a close second Sopranos. Fans should go and read the book The Corner, its a big read but so worth it!
Overrated. I can't understand why this is so consistently ranked as one of the best. Perhaps it's because it appeared before and helped launch the Golden Age of Television. Yes, the show pulls together many storylines and themes. But the characters are not truly developed. I sat there in Season 2 and 3 and asked that question about the most important characters and realised we can have only really say a couple sentenced about each. The show is good and I wouldn't steer anyone away from it, but I don't see myself rewatching it either. I never even bothered to finish the last 2 seasons.
One of the Best Entertaining Crime shows.
boring,I can't get into it, it's my third time trying but I can't get pass episode 7 or 8. why is there barking dogs all the time? so annoying.

My fav tv show of all time.
Drugs and police investigation is its core but each season delivers something great.
My favourite part in the whole series is when Omar and brother mozone meet in the alleyway :flushed:
