The Wire (2002–08)
“No other series comes close to The Wire, and it’s kinda hard to believe one ever will. It’s become a cliché that the show is the best ever, but it’s one premised on a reality of nothing else in the medium ever being so ambitious or so successful at realizing that ambition. The conversation is The Wire, then everything else competing for the best thing one level below The Wire.”

“It was a perfect show. Brutally honest, finely detailed, funny, driven as much by character as by plot, unflinching, bittersweet, heartfelt, gut-wrenching. Every storyline ends perfectly; every detail feels inevitable. There’s no better show in history.”
