We have never watched The Wire, The Sopranos or The Shield but we're not into crime type dramas a lot. For example we hated 24, CSI, law and order, etc..
The Wire and The Sopranos are NOT crime-type dramas. I guess The Shield is more a "cop show" than these others so I'd not suggest that to you. Seems from your list you lean towards comedy as opposed to drama.
I read a review of "The Wire" somewhere that used the term "Shakespearean" to describe it. I commented that to say that was to overrate Shakespeare.
And to lump 24 in with standard Procedurals like CSI and L&O is silly. 24 is just so over the top that the term over the top doesn't come close to describing the absolute insane absurdity of the show (but I love it none the less).
I'd also say if you don't like "over the top", avoid Banshee as well. But Breaking Bad is over the top, too, and you liked that.
