Literally the only reason The Wire has a lower rating than a Game of Thrones on IMDB.
Take children out of the equation and The Wire is the greatest TV show of all time.

I'm watching the 1st season of The Wire and I just got done watching the episode where DeAngelo teaches the younger kids chess. I was blown away! I had to watch it a couple times to really pick up on it, but did you guys realize that when he was teaching them about the chess pieces, he was really referring to THEM being the pawns!
It was so deep and meaningful, I am amazed by the deep symbolism of this.
Do the later seasons continue on with masterful symbolism like this? This was truly the pinnacle of storytelling that I have ever seen on a television show, and I think I can confidently say The Wire is the best show ever made without even having seen the entire series.
The acting is great too. Dominic West and Idris Elba really do a great Baltimore accent.

Oh an allusion to the countless idiots who feel the need to point out the analogy he makes in the chess scene... great.
Season one was slow and had a few worthless episodes. Season three is where it really starts to be a meaningful critique of the war on drugs and how the state deals with areas like Baltimore.
But good point guy I like your post.
>GoT is 9.5
>The Wire isn't 9.5 in any demographic
Weak bait
