The Wire is my all time favorite. Currently watching The Shield and while it’s not bad, it’s more of an edgy Law and Order type cop show.
I don’t think anything truly measures up to The Wire but just wanted to hear about anyone else’s recommendations.
Le Bureau des Légendes. Or “The Bureau”. Truly believable spies TV series. It’s been adapted very poorly and soulless as The Agency, but the French original remains some of the very top notch TV. I’m not French but i couldn’t stop watching this thing.
Also, Slow Horses is great too, but how they seem to need to up the ante each season is making it a bit hard to believe.
Hmmm hadn’t heard of this one. I will look into it. Thanks for the rec!
“Le bureau des légendes” spoiled every spy shows for me. It’s soul wrenching.
And “Slow Horses” was gritty and enthralling.
We’ve got the same taste! Any other shows you’d advise?
