The Wire is my all time favorite. Currently watching The Shield and while it’s not bad, it’s more of an edgy Law and Order type cop show.

I don’t think anything truly measures up to The Wire but just wanted to hear about anyone else’s recommendations.

      I tried watching it, and Yellowstone, and Billions, and was too nauseated to enjoy them. I’m not interested in the sociopathic adventures of oligarchs, i see far too much of that in real life. Im not interested in glorifying it with Sociopathic Oligarch porn.

      I say this. Succession is truly the only show that comes any close to the realism and impact of The Wire.
