I'll consider watching Mad Men, relating the relationship in which the writers engaged you with the main character tony soprano was a brilliant one, first I liked him, then I loved him, I disliked him, then I hated him before loving him again but in the end I still would not want a man like him in my life for sure. not even gonna start with the episode in which he killed poor christopher.
Also some people say the ending was bad and very atipical & mysterious. I love it, it was really an unexpected ending. who says that the mc must be followed until he dies or becomes extremely old.
I enjoyed the wire more because there was no MC like tony, where the show revolved around him, the "main character" was the city itself, Baltimore. And the idea to present every side of it legally, culturally, financially and also the education of the future would be "knuckleheads".
In my opinion season 4 should've been the last season of the wire, the whole theme of season 5 with mcnulty "fooling" everybody with his fairy tail case stole the most essential role of the show "representing something real "
and we lost a lot of potential subplots with that fucking handbrace

BTW, if you guys have HBO Go, did you see Leaving Neverland or have you heard about it? It is about Jimmy Safechuck and Wade Robson who still acuse michael of abusing them, it is a pretty sick documentary, it has 2 parts but it shows you that being such a megastar and having so much power gets you a get-away ticket for anything. It is filmed by some british company if I remember right
