The Wire - Complete First Season
The Wire is without doubt the greatest television series ever made. I say that without hyperbole or exaggeration . On the surface it may look like a cop show, but things aren't that easy in the Wire. The drug dealers are given depth and the reasons why they have ended up in this situation are explored and the police aren't hunting them for any other reason but intellectual superiority. Although season 1 looks at a small part of Baltimore life the season eventually shows a microcosm of the war on drugs effect on all aspects of a city. It is brilliantly realistic gripping and flawless on every level.
