I never got into the wire but there was a lot of hype around it in the early 00’s and that seems to hold true even to this day! Looks like I have something old/new to add to my list!
I think I didn’t watch it because I was too wrapped up in Criminal Minds, the Mentalist and CSI at the time!
I've found that most of the HBO shows tend to be really good especially the early-mid 00's ones. Rome, Sopranos, The Wire, Deadwood. All phenomenal shows
saw a new trailer for a new amy poehler show with hugh laurie coming out from the creator of parks and rec, which i loved it looks pretty entertaining as far as that type of show goes

The estate of the creator of the TV series "ER" is suing the producers of "The Pitt' alleging copyright infringement.
In my opinion there are similarities that would exist in an any ER focused drama. Take Chicago Med as an example.
But "The Pitt" avoids the humour and romance aspects that made ER a hit in its day, and carries over into Chicago Med.
I hope the lawsuit fails!
I asked AI about the issue:
No, "The Pitt" is not officially based on or a spin-off of "ER," though it shares cast, producers, and thematic similarities.
Relationship Between the Shows
"The Pitt" and "ER" are both medical dramas featuring emergency room settings and share key personnel, including Noah Wyle, who starred in both series, and producers John Wells and R. Scott GemmillLegal Controversy
Michael Crichton's estate filed a lawsuit claiming that "The Pitt" was effectively a reboot of "ER" without permission, citing similarities to a scrapped ER reboot and the involvement of original ER personnelCreative Inspiration
Noah Wyle and the production team have stated that "The Pitt" was developed as a new medical drama inspired by real-world challenges faced by healthcare workers, particularly in the post-pandemic era, rather than as a continuation or spin-off of "ER"Subtle Connections
While "The Pitt" pays homage to "ER" through casting and occasional visual nods—such as costume references to ER nurses—these are intended as Easter eggs rather than direct narrative linksConclusion
In summary, "The Pitt" is not a spin-off or direct adaptation of "ER". It is a standalone medical drama that shares some creative personnel and thematic elements with "ER," but it features a new setting, characters, and storytelling approach. The ongoing legal dispute reflects the perceived similarities, but the creators maintain that it is an independent series designed to explore modern emergency medicine in a post-COVID contextSimilar threads
