Without The Wire appearing on the list, it automatically disqualifies itself as being irrelevant.

[–] MurrayL@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Because the article title specifies ‘miniseries’. The Wire ran for 5 seasons.

The post title just says "old shows" which is misleading if the article is about mini-series.

Valid point. I'd never heard of half these shows

The Wire and Six Feet Under are not on the list? Weird.

Ah, it’s obvious now that it was pointed out. I even clicked the link and skimmed the post. 😅
