“The Wire” is a cult classic, and it’s one of the best television shows in history. Everyone has an opinion of course, but we would group “The Wire” with “The Sopranos” and “Breaking Bad” as the best TV dramas of all time.
Social Commentary
“The Wire” is a tremendous achivement. It’s not only one of the best shows in television history, it’s a work of social commentary that will live on for generations.
The show ran for five seasons, with each season having a distinct theme. This character-driven drama is simply brilliant, and the ensemble cast is fantastic. There isn’t a weak link in the entire show.
