Re: Omar. Just you wait! You're on season 2? OMG, so much more!
I would actually say that The Wire is more procedural than HLotS. That was sort of the premise. David Simon wanted to delve more into the "mundane" tactics (wire-tapping, etc.) as well as the complicated politics of the department, more than he was able to do on HLotS. HLotS was on a major network (NBC) so it had to try to appeal to a more mainstream audience & worry about ratings. It's still, though, one of my absolute favorite shows of all time. Possibly my favorite, but definitely up in the top 5.
