Sopranos were a single family yea? Or at least the family goons/workers etc..

The Wire shows the corruption across a city, and the systemic problems it faces, up to the state level even (and international to an extent)

They did easy because there’s like 10 chars max.

There’s ~10 cops assigned to Barksdale’s case. There’s ~10 crew members in the towers. There’s ~10 east side characters to pop in and out (Joe & such), and 10 members of the court system (lawyers/da/judges etc) and at least 3 street characters (bubs/his boy*/wayland)

I don’t think it’s supposed to be easy.

*forgive me y’all - drew a blank on the name of bubs’ underling.
