3 episodes into season 5 can we finally admit it that Power surpassed The Wire?

:mjlol:

this is like comparing the martial arts in the MCU to a Bruce Lee movie. I mean they are both entertaining to watch. But there is clear distinction between the skill and authenticity of one over the other.

Power has become New York Gentrification....

there's nothing else on , so Power will dominate this day and time

the Wire was on neck to neck with the sopranos every week in ratings and still doing good

Power would have been a after thought against sopranos

This is actually disrespectful to a show like The Wire that had brilliant writing and character development throughout each 5 seasons. Not to mention the realism, the depth, the story arcs, the different elements that the show incorporated (the hood, the docks, the police force, city politics, education system, etc.) and how it all tied together with the dynamic of the city of Baltimore and what was LITERALLY happening on the ground (and still is).

OP probably just wanted a shock thread but you gotta eat this neg now.

The fact that i stopped watching Power like 2 or 3 seasons ago, while i still watch the entire series of The Wire every single year proves this wrong. Power started off strong then got corny af and never got better. The Wire started strong, weakened just a little bit in S2 but still ended that season strong and the rest of the series is the best TV ever made.
