I liked Benjamin Linus from LOST back in the day, and really a lot of those characters from LOST. And Walter White and Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad definitely as well.

And, Captain Jean-luc Picard of course!

The Wire has the best TV show characters and cannot be beaten.

Tyrion Lannister shortly follows.

If pressed, I might pick Omar as my favourite, but there are just so many amazing characters in that show that it would be tough to pick just one.

I tried watching the first two episodes of The Wire and I was bored and quit. For Wire fans, does it get better after those first episodes?

Were you smoking some strong dope at the time? The Wire is quality from the outset.

Yes. My initial reaction to this post was to pound my fist on my desk in anger. Luckily, I did not break any bones so I could type "Yes."

For the sake of the entertainment gods (American Gods, if you will), you MUST watch the show.

Agreed. I wouldn't say it gets better, but maybe it could take a few episodes to get to know the characters. There are a lot of them to get to know.
