BBC JE OVE godine proveo anketu među filmskim kritičarima i stručnjacima iz 43 zemlje kako bi ispitao koju seriju većina smatra najboljom u 21. stoljeću.

Prikupljanjem glasova uspjeli su sastaviti listu od 100 serija, a prvo mjesto zauzela je serija The Wire (Žica), koja se emitirala od 2002. do 2008. godine, a u kojoj su glavne uloge imali Idris Ilba i Michael K. Williams.
