honestly i think the last season of the wire is a near disaster. It didn't ruin the show like dexter or GoT but it definitely backflipped over the shark

Never understood the feeling there. I thought it was quite a riveting final season. The serial killer thing felt no less plausible than Hamsterdam and Omar surviving that fall I think is taken directly from a real life incident.

This is why BB slightly edges it out for me. Also BCS. I consider BCS to be as good as BB, and it's mostly the same crew of writers, so as far as I'm concerned BB is actually an 11 season series, and all 11 seasons are fucking incredible.

The wire is amazing but it only managed 4 seasons before it took a dip. BB ran 11 seasons and never dipped once. They're both the top two series of all time in my book, but BB/BCS gets the #1 spot for me because of just how consistently amazing it was.
