The Wire is the best... Simple as.
Some shows might come close, but no show has as many amazing characters as The Wire does. Whether it's the wit of Omar Little, the naive wisdom of Bubbles or the business sense of Stringer Bell, every character is extremely cool in their own way.
Why not take a look at some of the coolest moments?
