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?

We Own This City is, to me, the season The Wire didn’t do…. About corruption on the police force.

It would have been the quintessential capstone for The Wire and I think it’s just as good.
