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?

Woah. I'd say that's the TV equivalent of having known about and bought bitcoin in 2010. There should be an OG watchers thread.Ā

It would be a lot of griping about the wait between Season 3 and 4. Audiences today are much more used to long waits between seasons (lol Stranger Things lol Severance) but back in the aughts we all grew up on TV that appeared dutifully like clockwork.
