Not hooked yet. When does it get good? Should I keep watching?

I've had the same problem. Everyone says keep watching, but this is the reason I still haven't seen The Wire.

They had me hooked at Snot Boogie.

It's like Lou Tepper's defense.

It's not for everybody, dude. Don't fret.

I'm almost on the exact same episode as you and I feel the exact same. I like it but don't really love it yet either. I'm going to keep watching because I felt the same way about mad men at first and now I love the show

Remember the name of the show is called "The Wire". Think about all of the things relating to this...the politics, the targets, the strategy in setting everything up, the surveillance team and different personalities being put together, the location this is all happening at. How can you not be intrigued on how everything unfolds and develops.

You dont judge The Wire.
The Wire judges you.

My wife gave up after 3 episodes as well and she usually has great taste. I was hooked from the beginning and in my mind it is the greatest television show of all-time.

I had this problem but I came back a couple months later and restarted it.
Keep watching it gets really good

I really got into it about midway through season 1. If you don't like it by 8 or so...maybe it isn't for you.

I just started season 3. It's certainly a good show but can't hold a candle to the Shield.
Posted on 10/5/12 at 4:39 pm to juice4lsu
It took me a while to get into it as well. Then I was hooked for a few seasons. I've slowed down with the new shows being on in the Fall and am near the start of season 4.

Usually as a general rule of thumb, I try to give a show that's been highly recommended by others a full season before I stop watching. Especially dramas that tend to have a slow build.

I just finished Season 1 and I was hooked about midway through. At the very least, give it a couple of episodes with Omar around before you call it quits. Probably one of my favorite TV characters right now. It's definitely better on the back half of the season as things start to come to fruition.
If after watching the first season you're not into it, then I say drop it. Sometimes it's just different strokes for different folks.

It won me over at the chess scene.

Keep watching. You are about to the place where you will get hooked.
For me, it was the Griggs playing the undercover scene.
Right now, where you are, Omar has barely gotte going and first season is in my opinion the worst of the 5, save 5.

The Shield is a superior show. It grabs you by the throat from the start and never let's go.

Didn't read any of this thread but I had the same experience at the beginning. Just push through. It's well worth your time to do so.
