fair enough, I just think you will be in the large minority here. True Detective is great, creepy, and sticks with you (last night was best hour of TV since the Wire IMO) but the Wire showed such a range of characters facing day-to-day life that it will probably never be topped as far as the humanity factor. they…

the Wire never hit the personal core that True Detective did? can you explain that? scenes like Bubbles at the NA meeting in Season 5, Dukie and Michael in the car talking about "that one day summer past", and D'Angelo "Where the fuck is Wallace?" are personal core shakers on another level.
