I'm going with the wire.
I just finished the sopranos for the first time and its a good show n all but somethings just annoy me like:
Tony's dreams
Janice
Every banging bytch falling head over heels for fat ass Tony.
And lets talk about how dumb they make black people look in the sopranos. I know most are criminals and what not but there weren't very many smart ones.
First encounter was robbing the truck and nikkas holding guns sideways and fumbling over the stick shift only to drop the gun and have it go off.

Wire has too many wack seasons to be considered better than Sopranos.
Aside from Ziggy (who was supposed to be annoying) I don't get why everyone rags on season 2 of the Wire.
Anyway, I love both shows, but would pick the Wire. I feel like the Sopranos had a lot of wack plot lines thrown in. I get that it was a show based on his family, but all the stuff with his kids could have been dialed back a bit. The Vito stuff, even the therapy stuff by the end was lame. Carmella's affair with the weird English teacher, literally anything to do with AJ (I'd take Ziggy over AJ any time), the dreams, the 3 or 4 coma episodes, Chris's movie nonsense, the awkward Chris/Adrianna record production stuff (Massive Genius
).... A lot of stuff that I sat through waiting for the main plot line to pick up.
The Wire had far less of those moments imo.
Again, both amazing shows though.
1. Wire
2. Sopranos

The Wire >> The Sopranos
The Wire...
for me, it was a show that I had more of a relation to. Don't get me wrong, the Sopranos was a great show, but for all the reasons y'all said, and a LOT because I couldn't relate to no "mafia" types. I'm from northern NJ and went to college in Queens and STILL couldn't get down with that Italian mafia stuff. The characters were rich/well off.
On the Wire, I could see some of my friends in Wallace, Body, Avon and Michael. I could relate to Bubbles story as my family (uncle) had problems with drugs but came back after "winning" that fight. Like, the Wire I could see in front of me, Sopranos had that "entertainment" feel, like I was watching from outside in.
Can't see all the hate for Season 2 of the Wire. The docks told a GREAT story of a man and his family and the fight to keep the family business in tact (the docks). It was the "corner" story just put into the docks. Some powerful episodes in that season, the Greek, Frank, and Nicky. Can't look at it like a season 3, have to take the "hood" element out of it

the sopranos kinda paved the way for all these new edgy cable dramas. without the sopranos, the wire, breaking bad, boardwalk empire, dexter, sons of anarchy, and a lot of the other piff that's currently on tv would not exist.
that being said, the sopranos is
but the wire is the best that's ever done it.
