I liked The Wire--it had a nice stylized feel to it, but a bit
heavy-handed for my taste. Basically each season repeating the first
season--the never ending cycle of the streets, the guilty always
getting away while the middlemen (or boys) pay the price. I could
probably name about 30-40 series that I liked better, including
Northern Exposure and St. Elsewhere.
Brotherhood is a series I think is just great. Maybe it's because I've
known a lot of guys from Providence and the show rings so true--both
with the hoods and the pols, but there's a heart and soul with this
show, and the others mentioned, that The Wire never approaches.
