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?

I love it. It's good, dark, and cynical. I put it in the David Simon pantheon, right about on the same ranking as The Plot Against America and Show Me a Hero. Still below The Wire
