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?

This site gives a link which claims you can watch the wire online for free. This is false information, it takes you to HBO where you then have to register with itunes(if you're not already registered). Any link that this website gives you to watch the wire for free online is false and a waste of time I might add. You people should find something better to do with your time.

The wire better represented real life in America, much more so than a particular ethnic group that I believe has been more romanticized in this country than one could believe possible in this day and age. The wire is far more real life and represented a far greater cross-section of life, whites, blacks, latinos, etc. I don't think non-whites existed in the "Sopranos" world other than as mythical anomalies.

The Wire.
"Cannot put the genius of the Sopranos into mere words?" This isn't Summa Theologica, it's HBO.

The Sopranos
conjc says:
Has to be the Sopranos. The Wire is more real to life?? Ex-FBI ppl have come out and said that the Sopranos writers must have had someone involved in this life (not just as a reference but as one of the major influences), such is the accuracy of the show. It delves so much deeper into the human condition in my opinion. Its just so clever and darkly humuorous at times,Sopranos all the way

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!

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.
