Is the wire worth watching?
Definitely. It’s probably the best TV series I’ve seen. Breaking Bad was good, but The Wire was more realistic and every season had a completely different area that it would concentrate on but the main characters of the show were all great actors/actresses, and every episode is interesting.
Why is the wire better than breaking bad?

“Power” is more romantic. The sex scenes are longer and more intimate, the characters are more glamorous, and it’s really like an addictive, dope-dealing melodramatic soap opera. As stated, I’m a “Power” fan, but when you peel back the layers, it’s less realistic than “The Wire” and only serves one role: entertainment.

Definitely worth your time watching.
