That's too simplistic, I think. The Wire is a show about the American city -- a place where, the show argues, an individual human life is made every day by various institutions to be worth less and less.

Just watch it Pest. It's not referred to in every "Best Show Ever" conversation for no reason. |

The Wire is the greatest artistic endeavor ever undertaken by mankind.
And I'm probably way behind the times here, but I just watched all 7 seasons of The Shield over the Fall/Winter. Loved it. |

This thread comes at the perfect time. On Sunday, Honey Boo Boo's Holiday specials began airing. Tune in on Sunday nights, TLC 8pm for fine television.

It's a shame Providence isn't on DVD.

I know you said no network, but you really need to watch Friday Night Lights.

Girls and Veep are pretty good.
Drop the anti-network bias and check out Parks & Rec, Community, 30 Rock, and early seasons of The Office if you haven't seen them. Original British version of The Office is great and very dark, and Extras is pretty good too. |
