The Wire

Ultra rare card

Told from the points of view of both the Baltimore homicide and narcotics detectives and their targets, the series captures a universe in which the national war on drugs has become a permanent, self-sustaining bureaucracy, and distinctions between good and evil are routinely obliterated.

ATK comes from the number of votes the series has received on TMDb. It’s what sets the rarity. DEF comes from the audience rating, weighted so that a series with three votes can’t jump ahead. It doesn’t depend on rarity: a Common can excel at it.
