The Wire is the best written show ever.

Mad Men is a close second. The reason more people don't give Mad Men more credit for it's writing is because 90% of the shit goes right over most people's head. Its fucking brilliant shit.

A good example is the toothache/abscess Draper was developing. No one I've talked to got the significance of the ache and the rotted teeth. They thought it was just a useless plot point. In reality it was symbolic.
