Well, obviously there are people who don't like the Wire. I don't seem to recall every denying that, or even implying otherwise. I'll assume you've ran into plenty of superfans who looked at you as if you were the devil after you said you didn't like it, and I'll assume that's where your reaction is coming from. So I just want to say that I am not one of those fans. I really don't care if people don't like the things I like. Nothing is for everyone.
Im glad you are not one of those people. Your post i was quoting however made you look like one.
your point number 4 and the part i quoted implied that the wire was the only obvious choice because it somehow is the only choice when talking about best drama, when such is not the case for everyone.
As for breaking bad, like i said i only saw first 3 episodes (and then my cousin gave up since i pretty much predicted everything that was going to happen so it was no fun for him), so i dont know how much the story moves away in the future, but in those three episodes the main crysis was that he got Cancer that he could not cure because messed up health care system does not even provide actual healthcare and wants him to pay for it, essentially forcing him into dealing drugs, which turns him into a murderer. Its not direct exposition of characters bashing healthcare, but it was the underlining cause of a chemistry teacher turning into a murderer, which could have been avoided had healthcare system worked.
