re: True Detective vs The Wire

Everyone says that season's 3 and 4 are supposed to be the masterpieces of The Wire but I found them to be somewhat of a letdown. Season 5 is completely screwed up.
The amount of plot that gets developed in the first 4 seasons is not all that great when compared to the first 5 episodes of TD. Where they get you in those 5 episodes is a special experience. Granted I could not quit watching The Wire and it grabbed me only to really let me down in the end. But The Wire is more of a soap opera compared to TD.
I say that TD has a real shot and knocked off The Wire only because of how badly The Wire betrays us in the end and screws up everything they built on.

uhh, what, is this a joke?
What is with everyone and True Detective? It was a solid first season, but you compare 5 episodes and say there is more development than the first 50 episodes of the wire?

what in the frick?
true detective, through that point, was a murder mystery that never developed the mystery around the murder
true detective's biggest flaw was its inability to complete the plot it hinted at during the introduction

True Detective was entertaining but, in my opinion, not one of the all time greats. What made me want to watch TD were the lead actors involved. If two nobodies had been cast as the main detectives, no one would be bragging about how good the story was. Honestly, the story was dull.
Conversely, hardly anyone knew any of the actors who starred in The Wire. Yet, it held my attention for the entire time it was on HBO.
