The Wire. Modern classic? Mayhaps. Mayhaps.

If you are looking to let show-watching back into your life, I wholeheartedly recommend that it be The Wire. Yeah I might be a bit late, but four years ain't dat long, yo. Just check out the IMDB scores on this maffakah. My opinion, this show had some of the best actors I have ever seen. The script was unforgettable and immediately transformed this adult law-abiding citizen into to thugged out raging bro at times of weakness. Favorite characters include Bodie, Carver, Carcetti and of course Omar! See it, love it and share it. Only five seasons.
