When the show really starting hitting HOLY FUCK territory.

Well, outside of the pilot.

Which part did you not see coming?  Spoiler tag it.  I forget what happens in each individual season.

Well, there's multiple things I'm thinking he could be referring to.

I really didn't see the rape coming.  At all.

That's what I thought.  It gets better and better!

Season 3 is awesome, and 4 and 5 are pretty much awesomer, too.

Yeah ok, that was the most likely one. And TVC is right, the awesome only continues to pile on.

The fight between Shane and Tayvon was  :o I thought they were going to lay off the shock for a bit, but no, the episode has a gap toothed gang member raping Aceveda at gun point.

The tension basically keeps mounting up and up and up.  I really don't know how they managed to do it.  3-6 really all build so well off of each other, especially in the tension department

2 was fairly dissapointing in terms of the cohesion of the entire season, but three seems to be keeping it together so far.  The introduction of the decoy squad, while seeming at first to be Poochie the dog, instead offers a good way to control the tension.  Plus the chick on the decoysquad is  :drool

The storytelling quality is fairly consistent from here on out.  There are maybe 2 instances where I feel like they "cheat" a little bit, but even when the writers seem to take the easy way out, there's an amusing twist attached to it

For me it's 5 > 4 > 3 > 6 > 1 > 2

I think all of them are super excellent.  6 is really a tough season to rank.
