It's still my GOAT. And I know that's become the cool thing to say. But I still have not yet seen a show that eclipsed it for me.

It really is one of the undisputed GOATS.

I’m so glad they made this show .

Can't believe 2002 was 20 years ago...when I first saw the thread title I was thinking "The Wire came out way after 1992"

I’m the same way, the story and character development are so good. I’ll even defend S5, which is not as good as the first 4 seasons is still I think better than most other stuff on TV.

I enjoyed the show. Definitely doesn't hold a candle the The Wire, but was enjoyable.

Also, they should have known better than to cast Marlo as a homicide detective.

Loved it. Couldn’t wait each week for a new episode. Doesn’t quite have the staying power or rewatchable as the wire has, to me, in my opinion.

But anytime Simon wants to drop me off into Baltimore and immerse me in that world, I am always down
