Thoughts on We Own This City

Going through a little The Wire withdrawal after watching the entire series. I've heard We Own This City is the same vibe and somewhat of a sequel of sorts to the Wire... just curious what you all think of this series and if it holds a candle to the Wire?

It’s a great show with a familiar cast and setting. It’s not the wire but it scratches the itch a little bit. Given that it’s a low commitment with only a few episodes, watching it is a no brainer for anyone who might be interested.
