Interesting artcile on HBO's The Wire

Is this show seriously better than or equal to the first two seasons of Sopranos? For point of reference, I think season 1 of Oz is pretty good, but seasons 2-3 are horrendous because everything that happens is so ridiculous. Completely over the top, and not in the comedic way.

I can't really read this whole article without seeing spoilers, but does the show take a basically anti-drug war stance, pro-drug war, or neutral?

It's better than the Shield right?

This show is basically flawless. I got into this show after watching the Sopranos, which I loved. I thought I'd never find a TV show that could compare to it. But The Wire does. And it is probably better, but it is at least equal to the first two seasons of The Sopranos. I just want to watch this show over and over. There has been a fair amount of talk about this show in OOT lately and hopefully a few people have checked it out because of that. But I encourage all you you to watch the first season. I cant imagine how any semi-intelligent person wouldnt fall in love with this show. The characters on this show are great. Stringer Bell, who was mentioned a few times in the article, sn the guy in my avatar.

And yes, it is better than The Shield. I like The Shield a lot though, but The wire is just in another league.
