I've consumed several TV series on LOVEFiLM, and I've used it to catch-up, to re-find, and to discover new ones. I came to The Wire almost by chance. And having slept on this for a good few months – since I finished Series 5 – I've concluded that it's the best TV series ever produced – up there with Band of Brothers, Sopranos, any of CSI, Lost, 24, Alias...

I recommended this simply because I agree -- alongside Band of Brothers The Wire is the best TV series I've ever seen -- and although I love the Sopranos I think The Wire is better
