Not really a hot take maybe,by the way those are the 3 best American tv shows ever produced imho:
1- The Wire
It doesnt only talk about crime,it talks about our society in general! The corruption,the idealism,the media,the politics,the instruction system etc. is all there. Really a masterpiece. It evident how it was written by a former policeman.
2- Mad Men
The writing,the acting,the setting of the 1960s/the 1970s,the mystery that was around every episode because there were enigmatic promos and synopsis that never gave hints about what would have been the episodes about,everything was great in this series! A masterpiece.
3- The Americans
This is probably the most underated american show ever! It was on FX,and its about two Soviet spies in the 1980s being undercover in America. The husband,though,trough the years starts to get used to American lifestyle,and starts to question the mission,while the wife is very loyal to Soviet Union,and this brings conflict between them. Also,their daughter,as she becomes a teen,starts to investigate about their parents secrets..and in the meanwhile,their recent neighbour just happens to work for the FBI! Great acting (from both American and Russian actors),great writing (like in The Wire,the showrunner of The Americans is a former spy),and everything great overall. The only flaw i find is that there is not much irony. Its a very serious drama,but its a wonderful tv show anyway!
