If you're cruising the internet while watching it... you're gonna hate it. It's a pretty intricate show and not meant to be watched passively. It demands your full attention.

Also this. fricking BIG TIME. If you're gonna dedicate yourself to watching a show, especially one as intricate as The Wire, you have to pay attention to it. Just about everything in the show is important in some way or another. Not to mention that it's an HBO show, so there are 18 million characters and plots to keep straight. If you're bullshitting on the internet while watching, you're definitely gonna miss things and they may not make sense to you later on.

Also, I'll never understand why Breaking Bad always gets brought up in Wire threads. It's not a pissing contest. I've never seen BB, but I'm sure it's a good show. But just because one may have "hooked" certain viewers more quickly than the other doesn't mean a single fricking thing as to one being better than the other. That's annoying as shite.
