And the others are?

My point is your attitude is way too biased, like you're asserting your opinion as fact. Just because the "critics" think it's wonderful doesn't mean everyone else has to, and it sure doesn't mean people who enjoy shows that get off of cheap action or cheesy storylines are any less of an adult.

It's just a pet peeve of mine to see someone pass off their opinion as fact without stating any reason other than "the critics think it's good," then act judgemental. If that's not where you're going with this, then I'm glad.

To me, if someone likes a show and has a personal reason for liking it, then that reason is perfectly valid for saying one show is greater than the other. If you say why this show is great, and what makes it great for you, then that's all I need to hear.

I am not trying to offend anyone... i like shows like HEROES, but it is a childrens show without a doubt.. and complete rubbish compared to The Wire, as are the other shows....those shows ask you to sespend reality, which is fine an dandy, but not the real, gritty nature that is the Wire. Those other shows hold your hand and recap every week, and keep things clean and tidy to relate to the lowest common denominator. The Wire breaks this mold and trumps the typical crap that you find in other cop shows. This show is all about the game, from both sides with no holds barred. After the 1st season you know more about the drug game then you could imagine. When actual people who live in that world (cops and dealers) give this show the praise they do, it means something. Even so, they somewhat jumped the shark this season, but in a believable and understandable way. I am not Acarney moaning and whining about the latest teenage drama to get canceled. This show was not canceled but ended on its own terms.

Put it on your netflix list or not, i dont effing care.
