Lost is like the X-Files, they're bullshitting about a master plan and making it up as they go along. They cover this by being as undefined as possible and drawing things out to a snails pace. You want a story that was plotted out into multi-season plan watch Babylon 5.
The Wire - damn good.
Only seen the American version of The Office - meh.

Also go see Da Vinci's Inquest - dont know about the start or early on but from about season 4 onwards (when I caught it late one night) that is out standing.

the wire is the best tv series since twin peaks

I've never seen an episode. Not even sure a preview.

What the fuck is the wire about?

cops and robbers
