Leaning towards the Wire at the moment, although it really has been between those two shows for a while now. Would buy them but too bloody expensive. But beer good sold on the Wire with his link in the comments below.
You're correct about Invention of Lying - it really isn't a comedy so much as an examination of what lying is and how it relates to mythology and religion. Somewhat satirical - most of Ricky Gervais comedy is heavy on satire - The Office is pure satire. But there is a somewhat sweet little romance in the center of it. I didn't like it that much...but it may well be my mood.
