The Wire - best TV series ever?

[Rhyfelwyr]

I've seen quite a bit of this show, though I can't say I've followed it properly.

In fact I'm quite surprised at this thread and the reactions, I haven't heard much about it besides watching it when they showed it in the early hours of the morning.

Monk is still the best TV series ever though.

I was so glad Monk and Harold became friends. And now Sharona is coming back!

There was a fair bit of publicity here when the BBC announced it had bought it, but they themselves failed when it came to advertising or promoting it. Watched much of the first series [or "season"] on there and after that, being impatient, endeavoured to find the rest elsewhere as quickly as possible. Had watched all of it before the third series had started on the BBC, and ended up feeling as though it could have done with a few more.
