Most shows go on for too long.
How long could you cook crystal meth with mobsters and not get killed? I wasn't he dying of cancer? Gets too silly.
The Sopranos had some amazing episodes of social criticism, the way Ralph brutally killed that young girl and Tony's love for his daughter. Brillant.
But the winner is the "The Wire" with its epic portrait on an American city, the war on drugs, failing police, education and government, and great actors, and each episode and series building on the last. No fake white hero and trusty black side kick nonsense, here a great show with tons of fantastic black actors, people you hate one minute and love the next...
