TV shows that were instant classics when they dropped

[Darts]

Name some tv shows that within 5-10 episodes they were already classics.

I'm currently re-watching The X Files from the beginning and it just hit me how about 5 episodes in, the shyt is already legendary. Most of the stuff that made this show so classic were already there within the first few episodes.

The Wire

the wire definitely. 1st season still my favorite one.
x-files, sopranos... AD was legendary.
boondocks....altho I knew this was goin to happen before

altho Im not a huge fan, friends definitely looked like a hit from the get-go.

Heroes until the first season ended.

Better Off Ted.

Closest thing to a spiritual successor to Arrested Development.

Lost should have been but the writers panicked after everybody realised that the island was purgatory so they started to write on the fly.
