The Wire is a great choice. I remember the first season being my fav. I still need to finish Sopranos.
From the list above highly recommend Narcos and Peaky Blinders

If you haven’t seen The Wire I will join the cacophony of voices insisting that you simply must watch The Wire.
It may be the single greatest story in the history of television and it is my favourite show of all time. I think the first and second seasons especially benefit from a binge—the first season is slow to start and the second starts you off with new characters and a new setting which can be a bit jarring on the first watch. But if you trust the process and keep with it, it’s incredibly rewarding.
I also recommend watching with subtitles if they don’t bother you (Baltimore slang is tough!)

that's my short list, but The Wire is the clear GOAT.
Also: every HBO miniseries is *top tier*. Every one. It's ridiculous.
FX is also remarkably consistent, in general.
