So I just finished the first season of The Wire.

Yes, I know it took me long enough. But I refuse to pay for television when most channels still show commercials and I had about 100 other in front of it on Netflix.
Anyway, what an amazing show. It provides such an engaging and human portrayal of the streets (real or not, I can't say as I've thankfully never had to experience a life like that). There's virtually no character you can totally hate, even so far as a guy like Avon Barksdale, or any of the politicking police officers because they all have a human element to them. And I've only heard great things about the following 4 seasons.
If you haven't seen this show, get it ASAP. It's amazing.
