    The Wire is one of the most realistic shows you'll ever watch with its storylines and characters progression

    maybe you should finish watching the wire first before making statements like this. There is tons of character development just as good as Walt's transformation.

    I think I speak for everyone that has seen the Wire all the way through when I say, you are wrong. The only people that show true character growth in Breaking Bad is Walt, Jesse, & Hank. Literally every character in the Wire shows some element of growth to their character.

    can we talk about how unrealistic BB is at times?? what about that?

    There is so many instances of THIS happening because of THIS perfectly being in position or THIS character living because of some picture perfect situation.

    say what you want about certain characters "not paying off" but every character in that show has a reasonable conclusion that makes sense, IE McNulty being self destructive or Stringer thinking he so sophisticated

    Even minor characters in Season 3/4 such as Fruit or Justin had interesting story archs I thought. More so than that whor- Wendy who popped up every now and then in BB. could hardly remember her name

    It's even better the second time around, I swear. Knowing certain character's motives ahead of time, picking up on little details. as an example I'll point out Avon's respect and sense of uneasiness around Cutty. Cutty really humanizes Avon Barksdale and shows some depth in the few scenes they both had together. For a show as deep and detailed as The Wire you have to watch it again.
