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.

      The show is, the movie is not though it ties in with the show. Haven’t read the book, but the show takes a more lighthearted approach and still has elements of drama and suspense, but doesn’t take itself as seriously.

      It is, by far, my favorite of the two.
