The Wire is the best show ever made, and I rewatch it every year. It has an amount of realism and brutal honesty that is unprecedented on mainstream TV. Every story the show tells is deeply compelling.

I also have to give an honorable mention to House, which -- while nowhere near the quality of The Wire (and not much is) -- is definitely one of my all-time favorite shows, if you couldn't tell from my signature. House is an extremely unique character that is oddly relatable; I have watched all of the first 5 or 6 seasons multiple times, and it is a show that I never really tire of. The last couple seasons were admittedly much weaker, and I still hate with the passion the Tritter "House-is-a-horrible-druggie" subplot in part of season 3, but I dearly love the rest of the show.
