You should SO watch the Wire. I'm about 98% sure that you'd love it. And: Idris Elba! Idris Elba!
And, YES! Give The New Girl a shot. The first handful of episodes are amusing, but pretty much exactly what you'd think--ie, Zooey Deschanel's character is all MPDG and there's a little bit of forced romantic stuff on the horizon for she and another character. But then, out of nowhere, like 6 episodes in, it becomes genuinely funny, and she's not a paper cutout anymore. And her best friend (who's a very minor character in the beginning) is suddenly the greatest person ever. And the guys (the roommates) are given more time, and they're hilarious. It's just way better than it looks.
VEHICLE! That's the word I was looking for in my first comment. Not vessel. Silly me.
