Didn't get into the shield.
But seriously, do the Wire. You'll laugh at some of the technology, but the interest isn't in the procedural, it is the story, and it might be one of the best TV shows ever.
Sopranos I only watched 2 years ago, and once I got engaged I was all in. But trying to see the thing objectively, if I didn't consume it, I would have lived a lesser life, but it didn't carry nearly the weight or power that The Wire did.
I'd recommend both, but if you only do 1, I'll die on the hill of the Wire.

SOA is entertaining, along the lines of Breaking Bad in my opinion. It's much more glaringly unrealistic, but still full of action and doesn't require too much brainpower.
You're speaking my love language on The Wire. There's just no other show that touches it, although Sopranos is excellent in it's own right. They are in fact probably my number 1 and 2 shows of all time. With The Leftovers right behind or maybe interchangeable with Sopranos. If you haven't seen that, give it a shot. You REALLY have to make it through the beginning half of S1 to get hooked with The Leftovers as it's such a different show and takes quite awhile to catch hold. But man....nothing else I've ever watched has ****ed up my brain as much as that show did.
