The Wire

It's an HBO show set in Baltimore. Critically acclaimed and praised by many as the greatest television series of all time.

I started watching it last week and am seventeen episodes into its 60 ep run. So far it's everything I expected it to be - intelligently written, thought-provoking and tragic. At first I thought people were too eager to praise it but it genuinely is incredible. There's some similar aspects to Breaking Bad, the most notable being the moral ambiguity of the characters.

Has anyone here seen it? If you haven't you really should give it a go. However, it's very demanding in terms of attention span and it's easy to miss seemingly trivial things which become more significant later on.

PLEASE KEEP SPOILERS OUT OF THE THREAD. Thanks.
