Series
The Wire (2002)
Considering 5 seasons 60 episodes
"Listen carefully."
Told from the points of view of both the Baltimore homicide and narcotics detectives and their targets, the series captures a universe in which the national war on drugs has become a permanent, self-sustaining bureaucracy, and distinctions between good and evil are routinely obliterated.

Vega's take
Sue's been wanting to watch it forever. Victor would happily rewatch alongside her. Major time commitment (5 seasons, 60 episodes).
