I'm trying to watch the first season of The Wire, HBO's crime series set in Baltimore. Some critics have been outright calling it the best series in the history of television, but I can't get into it.
I realize it's only the first season, so maybe it lights up in season two (anybody out there know?), but I've never really liked any HBO series that I've seen, so I'm not sure it's just a matter of development.
Opinions?
try deadwood instead...
ReplyDeletehow many episodes did you give it. it isn't like an ordinary episodic drama where each hour pays out. instead, it is cumulative and by episode five or six the story is fully powered and reaches heights that you weren't expecting
