It was a strange situation as so many people were saying The Wire was better than shows like Six Feet Under and Sex and the City; two shows that HBO plugged the hell out of. I dont understand why the HBO execs couldnt see how good the show was and then plugged it. It only became popular and got the attention it deserved when it became well know worldwide. The first two seasons of the Wire didnt get a rating on IMDB until the whole series finished. It was a greatly under appreciated show. I'm happy that I got into it back in 2003
