Summary
Set in Baltimore, this sprawling crime drama follows the intersecting worlds of law enforcement, drug dealers, dockworkers, politicians, schools, and the press. Each season shifts focus to a different institution while tracking the long-running investigation of the Barksdale drug organization and its successors, exploring how dysfunctional systems shape the lives of cops, criminals, and citizens caught between them.
The Wire is a 2002 crime, drama and thriller television series.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 1,359 2000s television series, not against the whole corpus. 555 IMDb reviewers are calibrated for this title, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 622 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 239 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately.
