HBO, Showtime, whatever. Limit one character per show. Hard to pick one from the wire and I don't watch Breaking Bad or SOA.

I love a character who clearly understands the concept of "most necessary"..whether that is the pack, the truth, fear, addiction or power.

I put "Original Series" in quotes because that's how HBO refers to them, bozo.

I completely forgot about Masuka and Boyd Crowder. Justified season gives me a pretty healthy bourbon habit. Tough to pick Bodie over Omar (or McNulty, Bunk, Marlo, Chris/Snoop, Michael, Poot, Ziggy, Frank Sabotka, etc.) but I never had to watch him bang a puerto rican dude so that helped. I almost chose Bill Swearingen instead of Locke, Deadwood was very underrated.

Locke is a tough call...As is Boyd.

The Wire set the bar pretty high. You need to get up in that Breaking Bad. It is probably second only to The Wire.

Fuck, I know. I watched the first 5 or so episodes so he had just started cooking in that winnebago and then I think it blew up or something then I just lost interest. I know the show has completely evolved and really need to get on it. It will be a marathon for me one snowed-in weekend this year.

Surprised nobody's posted Mad Men or SOA character though I could never buy that long haired kid as a 1%'er.
