Here's where to find the complete series of The Wire online, including whether it's on Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Prime. The Sopranos is often credited with kicking off a new wave of quality drama on television, including series such as Breaking Bad and The Shield. The Wire definitely belongs in that category, with this David Simon-created crime series taking place in Baltimore. The Wire focused on not only police chasing drug dealers, but on the media and politicians too, with each season introducing a new institution to the overarching narrative.

It was also fronted by an exceptional cast, including Idris Elba, Dominic West, Lance Reddick and the late, great Michael K. Williams as Omar Little. The Wire came to an end after five seasons in 2008, but despite the acclaim the show still receives its doubtful creator Simon — who is behind the 2022 miniseries We Own This City — would ever consider a revival or sequel series.
