I liked the Wire a lot. I feel like it portrays the cop world extremely authentically. It starts off slow but it's because they have to introduce the cast of characters and set it up well. At some point they pick up the pace and it gets more complex and interesting from there. And yes, Idris Elba does have a great American accent, but I've seen trailers for Luther and I think I'll manage to get used to his Britishness.
