1) The Wire
Set in Baltimore this series is all about the drug scene, as seen through the eyes of the dealers/gangs themselves as well as the law enforcement. The Wire ran for 5 seasons and illustrates the realities of what it means to live on either side of the fence in a city filled with violence, drugs, corrupt politicians, and a homicide division with very limited resources. Regarded as one of the best drama series of all time, The Wire has some incredible characters and a talented cast of actors/actresses, many of whom you will recognize from other on screen endeavors as you go through the seasons.
2) Breaking Bad
Currently my favorite drama out there. The rundown is as follows; Walter White is a genius when it comes to chemistry yet lives a modest life as a high school science teacher. Informed that he has terminal cancer, he thinks of a way to make enough money so that his family isn't left in insurmountable debt once he's gone. After realizing how much money there is to be made in the underground drug industry, Walt begins producing the world's highest quality meth. Breaking Bad Season 4 will be starting in July and has already won a number of Emmy's. Must see
3) Dexter
Probably one of the most twisted shows I've ever seen. Dexter is a blood splatter analyst for Miami homicide while also being a full blown serial killer. He does however have principles, and chooses his victims wisely targeting those who have a history of harming others. While he can't control his urges to kill, Dexter ensures that the people who fit into his principles are brought to justice.
