The WIRE
Must see show.
It's not your 24, PB, LOST or Heroes. It's to TV shows what Godfather is to movies.
Best way to describe it is : visual novel.
It is about the drug situation in Baltimore, US from the perspective of police and drug dealers. And you actually see how tedious police work can be and the red tape they have to go through. It's not all boom boom like in movies or other shows.
It can be very slow for some people and you would have to be patient, just as when you are reading a book. But each character is given a large time to develop it's own story. Anyone who truly appreciates cinema on Televsion, won't be disappointed one bit.
It has completed 4 seasons now. First one would be slow to start with but last few episodes are very rewarding. 2 is a slow season throughout and most don't enjoy it. 3 is brilliant, 4 start is the best sequence of episodes in the series but finishes with a slow pace.
