Why's everyone jack off to The Wire here? Most other sites consider it just an average show, nothing outstanding. On TV.com most episodes don't rate much higher than a 9 -- and bear in mind this is a site where any decent episode rates 9.5 or so.

The wire for me too. The show is almost perfect. And it's the only show where I actually feel like the people writing it are smarter then myself. Cough * lost * cough.

Yes I would say that the Wire has probably been the best writen Drama, in terms of depth, complexity, integrity, character developement and realism, that I have ever seen.
I would also like to add that Rome's writting was excellent as well, and Battlestar Galactica, aside from a few episodes here and there, has also been top notch.
