I made this same thread last year after rewatching the series. *high five*

I've said this many times before, but The Wire is the best show ever made. Excellent writing, great characters, and deep, well-executed social commentary running through the entire show. I just rewatched it this past summer, and probably will again within another year or so.

It's really tough to pick between the first four seasons (season 5 is definitely the weakest, but still amazing compared to everything else on TV), but I'd have to say season 3 is my favorite, because the whole plot with Bunny Colvin and Hamsterdam has some of the best commentary against the drug war in the series. The speech Colvin gave to Carter about police work and the drug war is just incredible.

And who can forget one of the best television characters: Omar Little.
