It always has been, and probably forever will be The Wire. Easily the best written show that has ever graced the airwaves, the show was such an uncomfortable look at the problems that plague urban America in a way that gives everybody a fair share. The utilization of local unkown actors made the drama feel all the more immediate and real. I cannot stress, nor really fully describe what made The Wire the show that it was, but I can assure you that it deserves all the praise it gets.
Best opening scene ever.
