The Wire isnt really a cop show, but if you want to call it one it's certainly the best. Then there's The Shield and Homicide, and then a big drop.

I've never watched The Shield. Is that the show with Michael Chiklis?

Yeah, it's really good. Very dark and gritty, touches on subject matter that not alot of tv shows do. It also has the best final episode of any show I've seen.

Enjoying "Wallander". Kenneth Branagh is great. Another one with a relaxed pace, where mood and setting are as important as plot twists. The Brits know how to do cop shows.
