The Wire is one of the best shows I've ever seen, yet finding the time to make it through the entire series is problematic. Sure, the quality is top-notch, but viewing options are limited - you'll never find it in Netflix or Redbox - and it's not exactly family-friendly fare. That being said, I've finally started rolling on season 3, and I couldn't be happier.
What makes this show so great? The producers pull no punches - everything isn't black and white, there aren't always happy endings, and both sides of the aisle feature captivating, three-dimensional characters. The show is one of the first shows I recommend to anyone looking for a new drama, but precious few take me up on it. It's a little harder to swallow, but it's well worth it!
