The perfect hit for all those who have finished The Wire and need another fix, David Simon’s first show was this hard-hitting six-part HBO mini-series.
Based on the year Simon spent living in a Baltimore neighbourhood, chronicling the drug-ravaged lives of the inhabitants through the prism of a single corner, it may lack the over-arching scope of The Wire, but remains that rare thing: TV that you genuinely feel you have learnt something from.
The Red Riding Trilogy

Missed it on Channel 4? Catch up with the year’s best TV so far with this brilliant star-studded adaptation of David Peace’s dark Yorkshire-set trilogy. Confusing, yes, but unlike anything else on the small screen.
