I saw The Wire about 10 years ago, and only a few crime series I've seen have come close. The Deuce was one, Love/Hate (strongly recommend, Irish gangsters) was another, but this trumps The Wire.
I am actually astonished there's been only 5000 people who've rated this when The Sopranos has 285,000! They don't compare in the slightest!
There isn't one non-believable character in the show, the soundtrack fits every single scene perfect, and the acting is borderline perfect, I didn't think in 1 scene 'yeah right' or 'as if' as the entire setting was entirely believable.
36 year old man, I've read hundreds of fact-based books on the mafia, and every thing I ever imagined about it was brought to life in this series.
If you're thinking about buying/giving this a chance I can't recommend it enough, stop whatever you're doing, walk the dog later, grab yourself a beer and put it on!
10/10 and possibly the best thing I've ever seen.
