re: Can someone please help me get into The Wire?

I have always taken the recommendations here petty serious. I have watched some great shows and movies from what I have learned here that I may have just passed over. I do agree with a lot of the popular thoughts too.


But I do agree with you on The Wire. I liked the show. I did.. But in all, it was just a good Cop/Druggy show. Some good characters. But to me, it was no where near a top 5 show or probably even a top 10 for me.

I just think I didnt get it like most did here. I have tried to go back and do a rewatch but I always stop after a few episodes
