Each season of The Wire focuses on a different facet of the city of Baltimore. They are, in order: the drug trade, the port, the city bureaucracy, the school system, and the print news media. The large cast consists mainly of character actors who are little known for their other roles. Simon has said that despite its presentation as a crime drama, the show is "really about the American city, and about how we live together. It's about how institutions have an effect on individuals, and how...whether you're a cop, a longshoreman, a drug dealer, a politician, a judge [or] lawyer, you are ultimately compromised and must contend with whatever institution you've committed to."

The Wire vs. The Sopranos 

When I consider which is the greatest drama ever produced for television, two series come to mind: The Wire and The Sopranos. Both series delve into the seedy world of organized crime in a way that is so damned cool. These characters do not live in a vacuum and the distinction between good guys and bad guys isn't entirely clear. If anything all you will find out is that everyone is fallible, and the system is entirely broken.

In the ultimate showdown: Which show is better? The Wire or The Sopranos?

The Wire

Avon says:

You ever been to baltimore EVERYbody there can relate to the wire.....one word to describe the wire TRUE.....

Omar says:

No doubt

Stringer Bell says:

Absolutely The Wire

Slim Charles says:

the wire by far

The Sopranos

JJ says:

come on man, everyone knows, Sopranos is just more clever and way more happening

Glenn Gahnstedt says:

Sopranos! A classic everyone knows about.. As mentions before, a genious Tv-show. Great drama. I really like that you follow the whole "family" in both good and bad times. The Wire is Great too. but my award would go to The Sopranos!

urbanr0cker says:

You cannot put the genius of Sopranos into mere words. If I had to use one word it would be EPIC. The amount of controversy that follows every episode is a testament to the brilliance of the show. The character of Tony is wrought with turmoil, caught up in a world of sex, violence and murder, yet someone who every man can still relate to.
