re: I haven't seen The Wire

I'm more addressing the fact that there is no "hook deadline" for a show. Just watch it. If you like it, keep watching. If not, stop watching.

I didn't think I was disagreeing with you - younger people tend to have much, much shorter attention spans. I got conflicting opinions when I was getting ready to start up The Wire - some said it started slow, others said not, but it didn't necessarily sprint off and a single person (on this board, I believe) said, "Meh, it starts off fine." Turns out that last person was correct, at least for me, but that shows how subjective it can be.

People love Lost - I don't. People love Sons of Anarchy and I should, too, because of The Shield, but I can't stand the lead. Like my grandpappy used to say, "People like different things, and that's good - otherwise I'd have a fight on my hands keeping people off your grandma."
