The wire is a well written tv show ! It covers almost every complexity of humans in their day to day life along with the portrayal of social problems in various institutions be it the education system,drug trafficking,prostitution,bureaucracy,politics,economics,street communities,police departments and press media. The best thing about the show is that it doesn’t have a specific main character instead it has so many that you’ll eventually forget at one point on which to consider a favourite one. Each character has the shades of grey just like anime. The wire is slow paced and takes time unfolding the script therefore it requires patience from the audience so if you are into fast paced shows like money heist,breaking bad etc. then you have to maybe consider watching the show without any expectation of cliffhangers.Last but not the least, i love the show because it is too real and that is why most people stop watching it however, i promise if you just watch it till the end with patience it’ll be worth it and still if it doesn’t even after the show ends then maybe it’s not your cup of tea.
