Apple TV’s Near-Perfect 8-Part Crime Miniseries Is a Must-Watch for ‘The Wire’ Fans

For five seasons, HBO’s The Wire redefined crime TV from 2002 to 2007. With a realistic and all-encompassing portrayal of the drug business and the law enforcers who are trying to bust down its biggest players, the series proved that telling a story about the drug industry can thrive without glorifying it, and instead can draw in viewers with how complex and multidimensional its characters and stories are.
