The Wire is, in my opinion, the best show in the history of television (or at least of what I've seen). The Wire seems to have received a lot of critical acclaim and a cult following, especially after its end. Too bad it never got the popularity it deserved when comparing it to The Sopranos. Although I like The Sopranos, I think The Wire brought a lot more to the table in terms of writing, gritty realism, and pure entertainment.
