I don't want to say that it's like 24, but each major storyline is a season long. There's some carryover from season to season as well, but there aren't any big cliffhangers at the ends of the seasons. It's by far the best show that I've ever seen, but it takes about 3 or 4 episodes to really get into the show, and to a lesser extent, each season. So if you aren't going to be patient with it, I wouldn't bother starting it. I had to talk my wife into watching the first episode or two several different times over a 2 year period before she ever made it to the third episode, but once she did, she watched all 5 seasons in a month.
And I can't recommend Treme because I haven't seen it yet, but just a reminder for any fans of The Wire, it's written by David Simon and premiers on Sunday.
