Matthew Weiner, a writer and executive producer for The Sopranos, may have set this series in the picture-perfect 1960s, but his characters are just as scheming as the mobsters on his last show.

The creators of Shaun Of The Dead and Hot Fuzz first gained notoriety with this cult British comedy series. When an aspiring comic-book artist is thrown out of his flat, he lucks into a roommate when he meets Daisy, a would-be writer. A cast of eccentric friends and oddball neighbors, including the duo's neurotic landlady Marsha, add plenty of comic variation to this well-crafted series loaded with surreal touches, slacker humor, and genre parodies.

As The Wire comes to a close, some loose ends are tied up while others are left dangling. It's a testament to the show that it honors life's lack of resolution rather than the tidy, and ultimately dishonest, wrap-ups of most cop shows.
