The Wire
I'm almost done with all five seasons of The Wire. Everything I had heard about it is correct - It really is one of the best written shows I've seen on TV. I do have to say though that Season 5 feels like a let down. They've gotten a bit outrageous (both with the serial killing and with the and the inventive journalist) and they are having to cover a whole lot of plot -- especially since they are wrapping up a lot of stuff that's been going on in the previous four seasons. So seasons 1-4 get an A+ and I'll give Season 5 an incomplete (since I haven't completed it yet!).
And of the A plus seasons, I think Season 3 (legalized drugs) was tops.
