The Wire is an HBO series set in Baltimore, Maryland that really captures the pulse of the city (I used to live there). The characters are so complex and surprising that you never really know who the "good guys" and the "bad guys" are. It takes awhile to get into the series at first, but once you hit about the third episode you are hooked. Be prepared for lots of gritty and graphic scenes (sex, drugs, violence, etc) which are important to the story and not just for show. It is well written, well acted, and it will leave you wanting more.
