Reply to comment by Emergency-Reindeer55 in I like The Wire but it's seriously flawed by Bushgjl

That might be ok for a movie, but a TV show with like 40 minute episodes will leave you wanting more.

I didn’t feel that way. The show covers a depressing aspect of society and there wasn’t supposed to be a hero or a desired outcome at the end. You just watch the cycle. If that isn’t for you that’s fine, but it’s not a flaw.

40-42 minutes is network or cable TV episode length. All of The Wire episodes were 52+ minutes as is standard HBO runtime.
