The Wire

An education.

When I was in senior year of high school a social studies teacher created a seminar for a few of us where we basically just watched this (and the “Up” series, also incredible! But probably not along the lines of what you’re looking for) and talked about it once a week. I’ve always felt so lucky to have had that experience, since this show honestly reshaped how I viewed American society fundamentally and irreversibly. I think it’s an important watch, and also highly amusing. Acting is just top-notch.
