Madness ditching the wire, have watched it twice through, a genuine masterpiece.
Watched The Wire until midway through S3 and got bored.
Too repetitive.
Stick it out OP. One of the best series made. Period.

Same. Or it might’ve been season 2. Either way, I didn’t enjoy it
Wahey!!!
Looks like I'm not alone.
Fack The Wire
Just kidding. Much respect to its fans
The only thing I didn't like about the show was Skyler.
Annoying name, who names their kid Skyler.
Annoying actress.
Annoying in general.
Other than that, the show was top notch
Not a great fan of American TV Shows to be honest. Most of them are good but not a lot more.
The last addictive one for me was Westworld and probably Justified before that.

I started it 4 times and once I got through season 1, I was hooked. I love how it doesn't rely on anything to get you to come back. BB always felt like they needed a shock or an event at the end to bring you back. The Wire and The Sopranos could duck in and out stories and characters and it just felt completely organic. Different level TV for me.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Wire for me is the first TV novel; it builds up the picture of a city like Dickens' London or Dostoyevsky's Moscow, from the top in society to the bottom, and everyone in between.
I loved Breaking Bad, but the Wire is something else. If you like it, find 'The Corner.' It was the test mini series for the Wire. It's by the same people and has a similar feel, but it's based solely from the point of view of the users and doesn't really have the police. It's very short (only about 6 episodes) and even has some of the same actors as The Wire, but in different roles.

I'd argue you rammed it down your throat.

If you're not hooked in by the main characters of Walt and Jesse and the BB universe by the end of series 1 then you probably won't ever be and the series just won't be for you.
It gets progressively more dramatic as it goes on when Gus is introduced but dunno if that would make you more interested anyway.
Oz is the true classic TV show
Breaking Bad is a show that if I watched through a second time I know I’d be rewinding large parts of or skipping entire episodes.
Love it the first time, but not much rewatch value.

Great show. Dunno if it’s underrated or just not well known, but it was really good.

Yeah OZ was good at times, bit flat at others but overall very enjoyable and twisted as feck sometimes
Most overrated tv show of all time OP. Good show but very very overrated and should not be considered the best of all time. Fantastic ending though
