Six Feet Under for sure.
The Wire may have the best opening scene of all time, the SFU has the best ending. No show has ever answered all your questions in such a concise and artful manner than SFU's series finale. The Wire is a close 2nd. Sopranos 3rd. Deadwood 4th. Entourage 5th. 6th is a wash between Boardwalk and Game of Thrones. Curb is great but it's a tough league to play in. OZ is honorable mention. Made HBO series' possible in the first place.

No one will argue that Tales From the Crypt came first. But O.Z. really paved the way. It essentially laid out the blueprint for every modern day premium cable drama. Not to mention HBO has re-used almost all of the actors from O.Z. in several of their other shows.
I have to credit O.Z. to being the first HBO series as we know them today.

Since my last post here, me and my wife also saw all the seasons of Breaking Bad. BB was awesome, but still nowhere close to the brilliance of The Wire
