I just feel that if TD wasn't filmed where it was, it would be half as popular on this board.

I enjoyed TD quite a bit, but man is it overrated here.

The Wire is on a whole different level.

The 1st 5 episodes of True Detecive are better than the 1st 4 seasons of the Wire put together. The last 3 episodes are equal to season 5. Both series fizzle.

And you are 100% right. A really good show, with some great scenes and moments, but not a top level great show like The Wire IMO.

Without HBO there is no Wire. HBO is the main character of The Wire.

TD has the potential to knock off The Wire because it is still running and has a huge first season.
Being there will be no Rust or Marty or relatable south Louisiana themes in season 2, it also has the potential to be another American Horror Story.
