When should I expect The Wire to get good? NO SPOILERS!

I’ve seen everyone tout this show as the GOAT. I’m about to start S1:E5 as I type this post. McNulty and Bunk are interesting. Omar seems a lot more interesting than Barksdale or Stringer or any of that crew. Just waiting for some action.

I just don't remember it being a slow burn. The show IS the characters. It's not an "action beat per segment" kind of show. It's a police procedural, but much closer to real life than most you've seen.
I was hooked from, "Got to, man. It's America."

it is not bait. I’m not trolling. Went into this blind to anything the show was about. My favorite scene so far is McNulty and Bunk in the kitchen just saying frick and motherfricker the whole time while they figure out what happened.

Although certainly some pretty big shite happens, that really isn't this show or why its considered so important.
its focus on realism, more than any show before it, is what the hype behind it is.

Think of it as moving to a new small town, get to know everyone, how they connect, all the places and how the town operates.

Episode 10 for me. It was a little of a slow burn for me as well. But after 10 it explodes.

The first episode I knew this could be something special. It’s my favorite tv show of all time.

The first part of season 1 is slow. Even Troy and Abed thought so. But you're at the part where it starts getting better.
I hated sesson 2 though. It's all about docks and shipping and has little to do with the streets. I loved 3-5 though. Season 5 is probably my favorite though everyone on here bashes it.

My advice: skip The Wire and watch or re-watch The Shield, which is a superior cop show.
