The standoff between Omar Little and Brother Mouzone that opens the season three episode "Middle Ground." The Wire was an amazing show all-around, but what impressed me most was it's ability to keep it's hard-nosed, ripped-from-the-headlines feel while still keeping a flair for the cinematic. It was a show that delved deep into the day-to-day bureaucracy and drudgery of police procedure, but that still made time to include scenes like the above, which would feel at home in some of the best Clint Eastwood westerns.
