The only shows that can compete are Dexter and probably House. And 24, if we get more seasons like 1, 5, and 7. EDIT: I have not watched The Shield but I have heard the legends. | ||

FTW I thought the end of season 2 of dexter was fairly stupid, the whole burning apartment escape thing... unnecessary and I just couldn't make the disconnect. | ||

Best damn TV show ever <ClayDavis>SHIEEEEEEEEET</ClayDavis> edit: After watching The Wire it makes it hard to watch a lot of other TV shows, you notice so much stuff that wouldn't ever happen irl. God, The Wire is so good | ||

the show was written/created by a former detective. features many real life baltimore police/hoodlums. second only to twin peaks in terms of television serial dramas | ||

There's only one problem. McNulty's accent is horrific. It's literally: *one word american accent* *8 words english* *one word american*. So horrific that I have to almost blank out the sound of his voice and imagine everything he said coming out of the mouth of a better actor. It's like reading a Dan Brown book, you have to black out anything he actually writes, and just pick up the storyline, or you will end up stabbing yourself. | ||

His line "what the fuck did I do" always reminds me of Han Solo. It is so similar, and both are complete ass holes as well XD | ||

![]() Chris and Snoop were perfectly done also. I loved how they were so cold and calculating, yet crude and primitive at the same time. One of my favorite scenes was when Chris kills Michael's stepdad. He's normally so quick, efficient, and uncaring, but he got really passionate about that particular murder. I think the writers were trying to suggest that Chris had also been the victim of pederasty as a child. On an unrelated note, the pit where D'Angelo and his crew sell drugs in season 1 looks EXACTLY like the dorm I stayed in last year. Though I don't like in Baltimore, so I know it's not the same. | ||

The best TV show ever still remains HBO's Rome in my opinion. | ||

And yea I think there were imply Chris had been molested as a child too, also interesting is that Snoop played herself in the show, | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Star Trek TNG has more depth than any show ever made, like twice as much as even the best contenders. Even though The Wire is sick, TNG is clearly the best TV show ever made. | ||
