Idris Elba is really good in The Wire; I would argue it's his best performance. His character, Stringer Bell, is among most people's favorites in the show.

Interesting bit of trivia: I recommended to my mom recently that she watch The Wire and gave her a synopsis. She said it reminded her of a 90s TV show that she loved called Homicide. The other day I looked up the show, and found out that it was inspired and heavily influenced by a nonfiction Baltimore crime book by David Simon, who later went on to co-create The Wire. I may have to give the show a watch.
