My top 3 of those not including GoT are
Rome
Sopranos
Deadwood
Rome and Deadwood are pretty short series so you can burn through them quick.

Wire = greatest and most important work to come out of western culture in the last 30 years. Should have won Pulitzer or Nobel prize for literature.

Wire
GoT
Sopranos
Deadwood

In that order

But most on your list are good, although I haven't seen Mildred Pearce

The Wire

As far as the rest of the list, I'm lukewarm on Luck and Mildred Pierce. The rest are great.

Oz is good, but if you want to start with the best, then you need to go with the opinions in this thread. Mainly The Wire and The Sopranos.
Game of Thrones is awesome but only one season in.
I've heard good thing about John Adams, Deadwood, and Six Feet Under, but i would definitely start with the first two i mentioned.

Oz is a good show, but Jesus H. Christ, as Deadwood is to "cocksucker", Oz is to just plain cock.
