Survey goes to The Wire

Which "tough crime show" has been voted the UK's favourite TV series to rent out? Here's a clue – you may have read the odd story about it on the Guardian website. That's right – it's The Wire ! Totally underrated if you ask us. The Wire beat Modern Family and The Killing in the Lovefilm survey, with Misfits the highest-placed UK show, reports the Sun. The number of people hiring box – or should that be boxed – sets is up 20% over the last five years. "A life, Jimmy, you know what that is? It's the shit that happens while you're deciding which box set to rent next."
