American television doesn't get any better than this. The Wire has set the standard for excellence on American television. Cops and robbers at its best, though it's about so much more than "cops and robbers" (it's also about unions, the educational system, politics, the press, the justice system).
Something similar out of Australia is "Underbelly" and the closest series I've seen from Canada is "Intelligence." Both of these series are worth watching, but "The Wire" has set a new standard. I am tempted to watch it again.
Please let me know if you have any recommendations for superb television writing and acting.
Lucky you to have come across this gem--you are in for a real treat.
