    The Wire

    The last season of The Wire was incredible. They tackled a hard subject to do, one that instantly invokes a million melodramatic cliches. The dominant storyline for the season was about streaming violent kids towards success in a school system. Again nothing could be predicted on ths show and it managed to be funny and gripping and real. I was sure the show would get nominated for writing or technical achievement or acting or something this time. Are the Emmy voters not getting screeners of The Wire? What else compares to it exactly?
