TD has the potential to knock off The Wire because it is still running and has a huge first season.

The problem is the Wire and TD are really too different to be compared. The Wire is at bottom social critique. It advances from season to season by analyzing another feature of a corrupted system.
True Detective was a much more philosophical show, and it disclosed a complete philosophical vision by the end of the show. It's going to be interesting to see how the next season can link to the first and still add something new. I'm not sure it can be done.
On the other hand, it doesn't matter because TD is a complete story within one season. The first season can't be judged by the failure of later seasons.
