Television connoisseurs debate which is the greatest dramatic series of recent years (or ever). There are proponents of The Sopranos and Breaking Bad and Mad Men. But I come down on theside of The Wire. It's a story Dickens would have written if he lived in Baltimore c. 2005. Incredibly rich in its social detail. The bad guys have deep dimension and so do the good guys. A devastating portrait of a city in crisis. Insanely smart. Insanely well acted. Be patient, though. It starts slow and goes at a deliberate pace. But it gets its hooks into, believe me. For my money, the best dramatic series in TV history.

It took a while, but its here!

You can now watch this incredibly detailed show in even more detail. Very impressive.
