Intelligence (2005)
Very good, but a comparison to The Wire isn't fair

The Wire had it's own language, a resolution and 5 seasons. Unfortunately, with only 2 seasons, I can't really compare it with anything out there. It's a serial, but more character driven and a procedural than about a city or cynicism and corruption. On the other hand, The Wire gave you a detailed look on the criminal side, as does Intelligence.
I'm dating myself, but it was strange seeing the Max Headroom actor here, though he does a good job, and the some of the dialogue was inaudible due to the actors practically whispering.
Totally off topic, but I never liked the British show MI-5 - if it was done more in the style of this show, that would have been a great series.
