OMG I just finished watching all 5 seasons of The Wire and it was...okay

Well, better than okay, but given the ridiculous amount of praise the series has received, I was - probably mistakenly - expecting to be blown away by most of it. I wasn't.

Don't get me wrong, it was very good, but it just doesn't stack up against the likes of Homeland or Breaking Bad.

The only truly emotional moment of the series for me was when Bubs finally got to go upstairs for dinner. There were plenty of "holy shit" moments, "I never saw that coming" moments, and a few "that's so depressingly sad" moments, but nothing really took hold of me and shook me.

Great drama series? I'll give you that.

Greatest drama series? I don't see it.
