Starting the wire today. What tips do you have or what should I know?

---

It's threaded and some stories take multiple seasons to finally resolve.

Each year has a slightly different focus:

1 - Baltimore PD versus Barksdale Organization

2 - The Docks

3 - City Hall

4 - The School

5 - The Newspaper

Is this a show that's slow and then gets good or is it money out of the gate?

I was told it started slow, but I didn't find it to be that. I liked it better than The Sopranos, for what it's worth.

I have The Wire, The Shield, Breaking Bad and Hill Street Blues as my top 4 hour-long dramas, ever, with The Sopranos and Mad Men coming in the next tier.

You should be fine.
