its the filming of sopranos seasons that hurts it, in 1 season there is like a few real life years gap in it.... whereas the wire starts at a point in a season and finishes all loose ends that season.... In sopranos there is like 18 months between series and i think 1 series is shown in 2 with a 2 year gap in it...... so it comes across like you've missed a lot if you're trying to watch it in one go
yes! though, perhaps a little more for what it doesn't show than what it does. but... like.... look at the black characters. the one black politician with any significant screen time is hilariously corrupt and Literally has "SHEEEEIT!" as his catchphrase, the one black muslim we see (NoI, naturally) is a... hitman??? and even more unrealistically for any self-respecting black nationalist is reading... harpers??? and the atlantic???? if there's any point where david simon's rimjob of his East Coast Liberal Elite audience is sloppiest, it's there...
i mean, look at some other stuff- season 2, with the Hard Workin' White Workin' Class Workin' Hard To Stay Afloat. sobotka, despite basically being complicit in the deaths of a dozen(?) women, is presented as just a guy tryna get along in a way none of the drug dealers are- not to mention sobotka's role in moving unbelievably larger amounts of "product". sobotka's death is also granted a dignity rare on the show - he walks off into the horizon, knowing he will die, and it isn't shown on screen.

the wire is easier to watch on dvd than sopranos
but sopranos was much better tv

Clarence Royce, Norman Wilson, O'Dell Watkins, Nerese Campbell, Anthony Gray, Marla Daniels all also involved in politics and were black.
Clay Davies had that much screen time because he was corrupt that was the whole point?
That he was involved in other dealings than politics.
