    As a big fan of both - I'd have to say the Wire

    I watched both of these series from the first episodes. I love both of them - but I have to say the Wire is the best TV show of all time (and I'm a Twin Peaks fan too). I realized how truly great this show was when I found myself pulling for the gay drug dealer, Omar. The characters are so well-developed and really pull you in to their story. Every season has concentrated on a different part of Baltimore - drug dealing, the docks, politics, etc. I have a feeling the last season will be the best.
