Watch The Shield first, because it really is fuck all compelling.

I love The Shield. But there's an event in the first season of The Wire that made me break down. I mean, a big heaving gasp ripped out of my lungs, sobbing, stop the DVD player just broken with grief broken—a pure cathartic Greek tragedy moment where fate and character and hubris intersect.
There's time. Do both.
I know that's cheating, but for me it's like asking, "Which child will you give up?"
