Default The Wire

This little gem was only discovered recently by me and although I'm only through the first series now, I'm completely hooked. It has everything I look for: great characters who are shaped and developed through a subtle script that opens their personalities up gradually with interesting, often funny and touching group interplay instead of the usual tired exposition that you usually find in shows of this nature; realistic plotlines that immerse you in their world, a world that seems real rather than convoluted; a fascinating insight into the drug trade and policing of it, which steadfastly refuses to preach, giving you so many shades of grey - this is not a simple good guys vs bad guys programme.

Yes, I love it and apparently it only gets better.
