What's your favorite show? Breaking Bad?
That would explain why The Wire isn't for you.
Yep, BB is my #1 GOAT.
The Shield #2 after that.
First six seasons of GoT.
First two seasons of Spartacus.
First four seasons of Dexter.
I like great drama, and am willing to get into a show that takes a while to build up.
So, why is The Wire considered as great, or even better, than any of the shows I mentioned?
I’m not going to convince you. I really enjoyed it from the beginning. If you don’t like it don’t watch it.So in the past I've tried to get into The Wire, and failed.
1st attempt - Quit after the 1st episode.
2nd attempt - Quit after the 6th episode.
So this week I've given it a 3rd attempt and just finished the 8th episode.... and I'm bored.
For those who praise The Wire as the best TV show ever, it gets better after the 1st season right? The 1st is setting the table and introducing characters and the themes of the cops/dealers?
Edit - I've heard spoilers throughout the years, so don't bother with the cute "Have you got to the point that ______ dies?"
How can y’all hate on zig. Either you’re a a college kid who he exposed or a Greek stock boy in a copy store.For the record season 2 contains the most annoying character I've ever seen on television. Not in a good way either.
Seriously, the most annoying character in TV? Come on man. That honor goes to Urkel.For the record season 2 contains the most annoying character I've ever seen on television. Not in a good way either.

It isnt for everyone, but you should stick with it until it's one of the best things you've ever seen. It'll happen.
Honestly, I thought 3 and 4 were the best seasons, but 1 is still amazing. It will grow on you when start to appreciate the realism.
Breaking Bad is one of my absolute favorite shows, too. That's easier to watch, imo, but The Wire is better.
This. I'm in the best TV show ever camp. I'm about due to watch it again & I'm pumped.I guess it's just not for you. I was hooked from the moment I turned it on. First season is one of the best.
Season 2 was easily the worst one of the show. I may had fallen asleep during each episode, not kidding.
Once it was over, i forgot all about it as the next seasons were better.
Buuuut it wasnt enough to keep me going and abandoned it before the last season.
I enjoyed Lost, Dexter, and even Walking Deads last seasons more than Wires and they were dull to awful. I was that bored.
Gear, if you try again start at season 4. Then work your way back to either one or two, but not three. Three is very plot connected, so you'll really need a good understanding of the character histories.Season 4 was the best iirc
The season with the kids
But all the seasons are top tier television
you sound like the whitest guySeason 2 is pure genius and so gutsy of them even to attempt. Season 4 is the single greatest season any show in the history of television has ever had.
