The Wire is my all time favorite. Currently watching The Shield and while it’s not bad, it’s more of an edgy Law and Order type cop show.

I don’t think anything truly measures up to The Wire but just wanted to hear about anyone else’s recommendations.

    The Sopranos.

    Widely considered to be the show that kicked off the gritty drama series’ like The Wire, Breaking Bad, Deadwood, etc.

    I think The Shield deserves a bit of credit for that, too.
