The Wire (HBO) [View all]

Just finished binging this over the past 10 days.....5 seasons. One of the truly great great series I have ever watched. The character development (and extreme exits) were amazing. The storyline. carried over 5 years was even better. I am sad that this crew couldn't have made a 6th season and gotten that slimeball Levy nailed.

Maybe the best L and O genre ever....
