In the article below, a New York TV critic discusses the pros and cons of the The Wire and The Sopranos and decides which is 'The Greatest TV Drama of the Past 25 Years'
it's all subjective of course but it's still a great read for those who are familiar with the shows...and if you're not perhaps this will encourage you all to watch them - both absolutely fantastic: "they left [their] footprints and fingerprints on the medium"

My dad will forever remain adamant that The Sopranos is the best programme ever created in the history of television, haha. I've personally seen more of Sopranos than I have of the The Wire, so I think I need to catch up on The Wire, but I think they're really hard to compare in terms of their different styles and pace.
