11. The Wire
Like Sopranos, The Wire will sadly be too dated for some at this point, but there's a reason, so many fans consider this the greatest show ever made. It took the whole medium of TV forward, thanks to a tight and well-researched script, and a fantastic ensemble cast.
We have it higher in our ranking than The Sopranos because The Wire's structure, which focuses on a different aspect of the criminal underworld each season, is better for binge-watching. | © HBO
