Unquestionably the best thing I've seen on tv in a good few years.
Surprised me to find out that 3 of the main characters are British/Irish: cockney Stringer Bell, Dubliner Tommy Carcetti and Sheffield born (but Eton educated) Jimmy McNulty.

No one ever stopped the church by pulling down the steeple,
You'll never beat the system by bombing number 10,
Systems aren't just made of bricks, they're also made of people,
You may send them into hiding but they'll be back again:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6300.jpg |

I was fortunate enough to have a friend of my father recommend the Wire when it began in the US (and, allegedly, supply the means to watch it....allegedly). Unquestionably one of the greatest, if not the greatest TV drama.
As for other US output, little if anything comes close (although the Sopranos has to be worth a mention).
I thought the Sons of Anarchy was hugely disappointing. The concept of the show offered so much but they delivered a very run of the mill result.

Thanls for that, I'll speak to my 'US contact'...... allegedly

Mentioned it before, but The Corner is worth a watch (think it was shown somewhere on cable recently).

You come at the king - You better not miss.
It ain't what you takin', it's who you takin' from, ya feel me? How you expect to run with the wolves come night when you spend all day sparring with the puppies?:41106.jpg |

I knew about Bell and McNulty but not Carcetti - all three put in cracking performances.
There's a great in-joke type moment back in season 2, where McNulty does a terrible English accent.
