The Wire is a completely different beast than the network cop procedurals.
I can't watch crime shows anymore because of it. The Wire basically covers 2~3 investigations over a 5 year period and they aren't fully resolved by the end of the series. Cop procedurals have them solving multiple homicide cases each week? Lmao no fucking way. Especially since police only have around 50% conviction rates for homicides IRL. And that's convictions, so they send innocent people to prison all the time.
