Guys i plan to buy Brotherhood series, its pretty cheap here. I think i will like it because of the mob elements in it. I also want to watch the Wire since everyone says its cool, but it has to have something that will attract me like mafia elements, mainly italian or irish. Does the show the Wire have those kind of things? Or is it just african american gangs fighting for drugs and police monitoring and wiring them?
The Wire deals with the latter - the drug trade in the Black ghetto in Baltimore and the police going after them. The show also branches out into other elements of the city, like the dying business on the waterfront, politics, and the local press. It's definitely worth watching. But, besides no Mafia element, it also doesn't have that genius combination of drama and comedy that made The Sopranos so great.
