What can I watch that is like The Wire but is not The Wire?

[ValleyClouds]

Currently binging the Wire (again) but when I'm done would like to watch a Criminal Investigation type series that I haven't yet seen

I want it to be complex and rewarding like the Wire, not a formulaic crime of the week type thing, an ongoing arc or series of stories

I have access to Sky, Prime, Netflix

I basically want The Wire but not The Wire

I have seen

Mindhunter
Manhunt Unabomber
Dark
The Sinner
Breaking Bad

Didn't like Dexter and couldn't get into either the US or EU The Killing

Thanks!

Fargo is worth a watch but TBH I've yet to find anything that really compares to The Wire. Some interesting suggestions here though, well check them out

A PP suggested ‘The Night Of’. Absolutely brilliant! My husband loved it and he loved The Wire.
Line of Duty was amazing too.

Line of Duty fans - does anyone know if there's going to be another season? I would stick my neck out and say it is the best British TV series for 20 years or so.

I'd say the same Bigfatchips. I think there's supposed to be another series but not until 2019. I'm in a state of permanent withdrawal 😩

Loved The Shield!
Sons of Anarchy was good, but I hated them all by the final season.
Line of Duty is brilliant, I'm sure there is at least one more series coming up.
Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes are great.

Justified and Longmire were other series I enjoyed but they're not Wire-ish.

Better Call Saul (prequel to BreakingBad) It's brilliant.
The Sopranos.

Watching with interests or recommendations. Nothing is as good as The Wire though.
