Negative Positive
Title: Definitely not the poorman's Wire.
Review: I also disagree with Amazons review of this great show. I view the characters in this show much differently than those in The Wire or The Sopranos. The characters in Intelligence are, in a way, ordinary people. Especially if compared to those shows. They aren't kids on the streets of baltimore slinging crack. They aren't muscle heads in Jersey who no nothing but a life of crime. They do strive to be those things though. I definitely mean no offense by this statement but, these are a bunch a white guys who deal pot in Canada. Not to say that this isn't dangerous or worth having a show about. The show is handled brilliantly. You always get the sense though, that a lot of this is just a facade. They're barely getting by with walking the walk. I found that one of the most intriguing things about it. Also, it's just a very well put together show, with believable characters and an overall great story arc. Definitely worth your time.
