The Wire. Didn't hate it, just didn't love it.

I'm now halfway through Season 3. Same here. I like it as far as something good to watch, but it's rarely compelling - as in, I'm not staying up late to squeeze in that next episode or last half like I've done with other shows that are addictive. I just watch it when there's no better episode of another series or new movie.

It's weird because it's better overall than a lot of shows that are somehow more addictive, like certain seasons of SOA or House of Cards.

Also, Boardwalk Empire - liked but not addicted or compelling. May give that another shot as I don't even remember where I left off.
