The 32 Characters From The Wire Who Appear In The Most Episodes

HBO's The Wire was a slow burn in every way. It never reached the popularity of other HBO shows at the time, like The Sopranos, but over time, it has become one of the most beloved shows in television history. Like the show's popularity, the storytelling was a slow burn as well, evolving over 60 total episodes to tell one remarkable story about the City of Baltimore and the workers, police, and criminals that call it home.

The Wire's character arcs are likewise patient in their development and with a huge cast, it was very satisfying watching many of them evolve, change, and grow. Here are the characters that appeared the most throughout The Wire's five seasons.
