How far did you get? If you don't start enjoying it by at least the 7th or 8th episode of Season 1, it just may not be for you.

This. It wasn't for us, and we had high hopes.

100%

Not every show is for everyone even ones with universal acclaim.

I would also say skipping to the 2nd season could be dicey. S2 is almost universally considered the nadir unless someone is arguing one particular storyline in S5. I admit S2 is probably my least favorite but I appreciate it more with each rewatch but even when I appreciated it least I still thought it was great TV.

OP is a bit of a contrarian (not meant as a pejorative) so I am not 100% sure his post is sincere but The Wire is simply not for everyone just most people consider it very high-level TV.
