Incidentally, I am late to the party on The Wire, but have been binging it the last month and am now nearing the end of Season 3. When people said it was one of the greatest shows of all-time, they weren’t exaggerating.

Omar has to be one of the best characters in TV history. He's on a short list with Tony Soprano and a few others.

Well I won’t knock Breaking Bad off the top spot of my personal list easily, but The Wire is certainly on its way to doing so.

I have a few close seconds but the Wire is still number one for me.

Mans gotta have a code!!!

In the age of reboots, I can't believe they wont reboot that. I hate the whole "it was perfect how it ended" argument. Fans want more and there's plenty of money to be made.

Omar was based off 3-4 REAL LIFE dudes lol one of them had a role on the show.

You are in for a ride. Season 3 conclusion is jaw dropping and season 4 is the best season of a show I've ever seen

This made me go over to IMDB to see what the top-rated TV shows were. For some reason, they list a bunch of nature and war documentaties but after filtering those out, the top are:

1. Band of Brothers
2. Breaking Bad
3. Chernobyl
4. The Wire
5. Game of Thrones
6. The Sopranos
7. Scam 1992 (never heard of this but I gotta watch this)
8. Sherlock
9. Twilight Zone
10. Firefly
11. True Detective

A couple others that were ( are) excellent are Boardwalk Empire and Better Call Saul.

Still really like Justified better than True Detective.

For The Wire fans I would suggest checking out Snowfall on F/X, John Singleton's best work.

I thought about watching that but didn't know how authentic it could be since its on cable.

Sadly, you can drop the "yet." There will be no future John Singleton projects.

John Singleton died if you're not aware.

And I think that Boyz n the Hood will always be considered to be his best work.
