The Wire. I tried watching that show like four times, and only ever made it an episode or two. it starts so slow and boring.

The Wire for my parent and myself also.
We watched it once, got a few episodes in, and we were like “we’ll come back to this I’m sure”
Seven years later, we finish The Sopranos. “We’ll I guess this is kinda like it…”
Nah, but we got through season three at least!

I didn’t really get captivated by The Wire until season 3. It had some really memorable moments, but it was a show I had to force myself through until season 3. Especially season 2, since the dock workers didn’t catch my interest.

It's kind of a weird show, because season 2 doesn't really matter. You could skip it, and it would be a better show.

Going in to season 2 can feel a bit jarring if you were expecting it to continue to be about the drug trade, but the show is about Baltimore and each season shows different aspects of the city. The police/drug trade, the docks, government bureaucracy, school system, and the media. For me it’s what makes the wire stand out.
