I agree.

It's a crime that perhaps arguably the best television show ever, The Wire, goes relatively unwatched.

I could venture a few guesses as to why The Sopranos, Deadwood, and Six Feet Under are overwhelmingly more popular than The Wire.

HBO has done a spectacularly crappy job in promoting the show. However, kudos to them for agreeing to a final fifth season despite dropping viewership.
