I am a hardcore sci-fi fan, not the kind of marvel tv shows but star trek, fringe, x-files, lost, bsg type shows. I like some drama shows too, I really liked twin peaks, orange is the new black. Some other ones are the blacklist, csi, walking dead, game of thrones, shameless.
I was recommended breaking bad. I was told it was the best show ever. I could barely make it to the end of second season. Now I am told the wire is the best drama ever. I watched the first episode and it looks like it is show it needs time to get hook. I don't want to be disappointed like the breaking bad after investing several hours. Given this background, should I really bother?
As for sopranos and mad man, I don't really like mafia flix, I didn't really like the godfather that much to begin with.

I love the Godfather and I adore The Sopranos series. The Wire? A big No for me but that doesn't make it bad. Always adored Fargo as a movie! Now I worship the tv show Netflix is the way to go if you want to investigate series. My daughter has The Walking Dead for breakfast I dislike Horror in general. She thinks Maffia is boring... I like Cosa nostra To each his own

Finished Fargo season 2 just yesterday. episode 9 was mindblowing The finale "Palindrome" was a bit of a letdown revealing wise but enjoyable. Picking it up on BR when it get's released anyway. I watched The Sopranos 3 times in the past. true, it takes some time but those faces, that atmosphere people breath in the show... Oh, I miss J. Gandolfini. Think of all great things that man could have done if only he had lived He had one of those faces ... I always enjoy him standing in the Pool with those ducks. He really pushed the limit playing T. Soprano Read sad news about John Hurt ( another legend IMHO) the other day... the poor man suffers from cancer.

Substance,
It sounds like our tastes are very similar in TV. Star Trek, Stargate, BSG, etc. I recently watched both The Wire and Sopranos. I enjoyed both shows quite a bit. I know your post is a few months old but if you're still wanting opinions.... Of course I also like watching shows from my growing up period, 70s and 80s. Magnum PI, Rockford Files, just to name a few.
Bosch is a good new show, on Amazon prime but only 2 seasons so far. I've read all the books it is based on. Blue Bloods I'd a very solid show too. Anyway I'm just rambling on, just wanted to throw in my two cents

The Wire is simply without any doubt the best show there is and ever will be on this planet. It is exceptional and I seriously doubt that anything else will ever surpass it in terms of quality, storytelling, acting etc. I like sci-fi stuff ( DS9 is my favourite without any doubt ) but The Wire is just mind blowing. I also liked the fact that it had many Polish Americans in it
