The Wire is phenomenal. Really glad they ended it when they did, before giving it a chance to turn into shit like The Sopranos, The Shield, etc.
Deadwood and Rome are two other shows that I was really glad ended when they did.
Rome and Deadwood both could (were supposed to) go for a few more seasons....both quite unfortunately had the plug pulled early because they were expensive and HBO didn't envision the long life these shows soon achieved through DVDs and Netflix and such. Both so good.
I don't know whether I like Deadwood or The Wire more.....but The Wire is certainly the best show ever in terms of storytelling and exploring important themes in society. Season 4, which I think is the best of all, tells such an amazing and horrible story about how capricious circumstances can lead people in different directions, how some people get key breaks and others driven into the gutter....and unfortunately in Baltimore not many are getting the breaks.
