What show most closely resembles The Wire ?

Just finished Wire on HBO MAX and it was incredible. My only minor complaint is the way they killed off Omar.

The answer is Homicide: Life on the Street = Simon's precursor to the Wire
Belzer's character moves to NYC and joins Law & Order so many consider Homicide the precursor to that epic as well.
If you haven't seen Treme - it is The Wire in New Orleans

the questions you should be asking is why does The Wire so closely resemble Clockers? And did David Simon write anything original in his life?

Wasn't The Wire loosely based on actual events?

Yes, loosely but each season they bring in people off of the docks, police force, teachers or press depending on what the main focus was for the season.

You pretty much need to watch anything David Simon does. Watch The Deuce on HBO.
Same here.

Killing Omar the way they did was just showing that no matter how badass anyone was, you can be killed at any given time by any person. I liked it.

I completely forgot about this. I think I watched the first couple of episodes, and decided to wait until the season had completely aired, and just forgot to go back to it. Is it actually good?

I’ve never tried so hard to like a series. Couldn’t get threw it.

FIFY.
Treme is trash.
