People like the wire because it does a good job of showing both sides of a conflict and why it's so hard to change things quickly >

To me, the reason why people love this show so much is because of its commentary on society and the flaws of the systems in place, which I personally don’t really care for.
I don’t have a problem with that aspect of the show, it’s just the lack of entertainment value until the last few episodes for me. >

I love The Wire, but I doubt many people think it's the GOAT anymore. I would think people today would point more toward Breaking Bad, though I'm possibly biased as myself and most of my friends were too young for The Wire when it aired, but just about right for BB. >

Stating the obvious ¯_(ツ)_/¯ >

More people will have a different favourite show to this, easily a popular opinion you have here. >

This sub is for unpopular opinions >

Let me guess the best show ever is better call saul? u/saulgoodman673 lol /s >

Proper shit show that. Couldn't make it past season 1, was 3/10 for me if that. >

Tbf it starts slow, I gave up the first time I tried watching it too. Season 2 and 3 are where it really starts goin >

If the first season is bad then It can't be classed as a top show for me. I enjoyed breaking bad but I can watch so many shows again and again, second time watching breaking bad I had to turn that off aswell. Was too slow and the writing isn't good enough, Brian Cranston makes it. >

No Sopranos is the best show ever made by a longshot. >

I can definitely see an argument for it. There were so many episodes in that show that were so fucking phenomenal. 
Unfortunately though, the show definitely did have its fair share of bad episodes: In Camelot, Christopher, A Hit Is A Hit, etc. >

Still rather watch that ep. than half the shite on telly. If you are dissapointed by the wire but liked Sopranos maybe try Osark or  I am currently watching Yellowstone, both hit the spot if you haven't watched them? >

Is it the best show ever? No, it is not.
Is it the best show in the last 20 years? Yes, yes it is >

No it isn’t. >

Time and place. Most art gets old. Ho hum. >

I agree with the sentiment that The Wire is a great show, but it's subjective to say whether it's the best ever made. Different shows have different strengths and appeal to different audiences, making it hard to crown one as the ultimate champion. >

Just hard to get through watching dollar store mark Wahlberg
