an issue, and it’s how I feel about the wire as well.

It was of its time when it aired.
But the comment about it not holding up and technology being a part of that is because it’s a show that is so heavily reliant on its technology.
I watch plenty of old shows. I enjoy watching Columbo and Law Order.
The Wire to me as a show that is heavily reliant on the period it was produced in feels very dated. It does not feel as timeless as other shows feel to me. In the same manner The West Wing feels heavily reliant on the period it produced in.
