It's the best police drama ever made. In fact, nothing comes remotely close. After watching it most other shows will seem silly and overly dramatic. I really love The Wire's realism. Real police work is interesting and requires no dramatisation. A person being murdered is cold, brutal and unromantic. As it is in The Wire. When a character is killed, it's often unexpected, quick, horrific and not dwelled upon. The Wire is an excellent programme. It’s the best police drama ever made. In fact, nothing
