This sub is for unpopular opinions
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.
