    This is inaccurate, The Wire isn’t on Netflix.

    It is by far the best police/crime show ever made. No one wants to watch it though, maybe because once your eyes are open to the way that Baltimore works is the same way every city works and you can’t close your eyes to it in real life.

      Dude I can’t agree more. It really is the best show ever made. I tell people and they think I’m joking cuz it’s just a random show. It’s not a random show. It beats everything else. People who have seen it know what I’m talking about.

      I think a lot of people, including me, lose interest during the first episode when the way the characters and story are presented is so contrived and all over the place you easily get lost.

        It is like real people, they don’t always give away all of who they are in the first episode, by the end of the series though you will see the versions of people in that show in real life.

        It isn’t spoon fed but you start seeing and figuring out what is going on when the characters start seeing it too.
