I wouldnt call The Wire overrated. It deserves the praise, and is still relatively unseen in terms of pop culture.
Yeah I don't think it's fair to call The Wire overrated. It is outstanding.
Its relatively small fan base (it never had that many viewers on TV in America) and that it never won an Emmy for anything (and only two nominations - both for writing which obviously doesn't get much media attention) may make it look like it gets its penis sucked too much relative to its lack of success (commercial and 'critical').
The strange thing is employed TV reviewers seemed to love it (the later seasons anyway) yet Emmy voters seemed oblivious to its existence.
