The Sopranos is the best TV show of all time imo.
Never seen the wire so I can't comment on that.
Seen all the Breaking Bad episodes once. Good show but not interested in seeing them all again. I just never could get over the fact how Hank was supposed to be this big bad DEA agent but after all the clues and hints he still couldn't figure out who he was chasing. I mean finding the mask from the school Walter teaches at, Walter being a chemist, the initials WW in the book, Walter crashing into another car on the way to the plant. I mean what else do you need you dumb ass.
And I barely got through season 1 having to watch preggo skylar with her cleavage showing every freakin episode. puke. And her face aggravates me too.
And the image of Heisenberg in his files. He should have clicked on sooner that for sure.  I completely agree with you. Great point!

I'll go with The Sopranos.
The Wire went off the rails a bit in Season 5 with the main storyline.
I could never really get into Breaking Bad,
I think you can accuse The Wire and Breaking Bad of being unrealistic at times, moreso than The Sopranos.
The Shield was hurt, in my opinion, by the censorship. No bad words? come on... Damn near everything in the wire is real life shit in Baltimore. The election of the mayor that was O'Malley coming in after Schmoke, and when the mayor won the governor sea, and the black woman was elected mayor that happened(Shelia Dixon)who was convicted of corruption. the whole first season was how they took down Melvin Williams. The only thing that may not be real was the area they let drug addicts and sellers openly buy and sell. The rest was real deal Baltimore shit. A lot of the real major Baltimore drug players were on the sets of the wire as advisors and actors Williams and Shorty Buise

I thought McNulty's storyline in season 5 was a bit hokey though. And I think they overdid some of the mythos around Omar, like the Spiderman leap. And Brother Mouzone. Come on! Was he really based on somebody?
I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.

Speaking of breaking bad, I can't get into "better call saul" at all.... Better call saul i thought was decent, some funny scenes. The wire i still haven't managed to get into. Going to start again soon. The Sopranos will always be my favorite. Although the Underbelly series, rank high up there for me too. Watching Underbelly: Badness at the moment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q95jF0s3x_8

THE first season of Underbelly was excellent.. Yeah the first season is one of my favorites. Have you seen any of the others ? I thought the second series about Terry Clark, Aussie Bob and the Mr Asia drug syndicate was pretty decent too. I picked up Underbelly NZ: Land Of The Long Green Cloud recently on dvd also, which is the same story but following Marty Johnstone, rather than Terry Clark.

No ive only watched the first season, but im guessing the the seasons are exaggerated and watered down versions on the first season. If you enjoyed the first season, id definitely give the second a shot. All the seasons are different stories though. Although the latest season Fat Tony and Co, has the characters from the first series. There is a few movie long episodes also which are pretty good, including Colin McClaren's story of infiltrating the Ndrangheta and a few others.
