3
1
4
5
2
The Wire is tied with Sopranos.
The Shield following right behind, but then again I haven't seen the last Shield season yet, which is supposed to be crazy.

I don't know if it's bias or a lack of intelligence on your part but season 2 is arguably the best season, and at the very least just behind 1 and 4. To rate Season 5, the worst HBO season in history, better than 2 is insane. What is your reasoning for this?

Season 3 is my favorite.
I'm gonna watch the whole series again after the baseball season. Love that show.

Judging by the grades in my recent psych. & law exams, I think we can safely rule out the second part. :loser:
Season 2 was good, but didn't match up to the others. How anybody can rate it above season 3, would need further clarification.
Maybe it's the lack of interest for fat Polish dock workers; I guess I just find the intricate business of street drug-dealing more intriguing.
Season 5 was kinda odd, but had some brilliant parts.

So bias it is. I don't know shit about Polish dock workers or the Greek drug shipping trade but the way in which it was tackled was nothing short of brilliant. It was so well written. It also showed a new twist on the drug game that we were introduced to in season 1. Seasons 1,2 and 4 are about a tie for me. Three didn't really say anything and what it did say it went too far with. The beauty of this show was how simple, subtle, and realistic it was. Dedicating most a of a season to an entire section of a major city where drugs were legal was ridiculous, and certainly not simple, subtle, or realistic. It broke the tone of the show to say something that easily could have been said in better way.
Season 5 was a complete disgrace and a spit in the face to every fan of the show.
