I tried to get into The Wire, but I literally couldn't finish the first episode.  Dexter is where it's at right now, still on season 1 but it's good shit.


Just a warning, the first few seasons of Dexter are really good, but the last few are legitimately some of the worst television I've ever seen.

I urge you to at least finish the full first season of The Wire cause it's a very slowly developing show... if you still don't like it by then, you probably won't ever like it. You'd also have something wrong with you :)

If the first episode didn't suck you in. Not sure you may not enjoy it. But for me it's the best television I've ever watched. The plot, the development of characters and overall the acting is amazing.


The 90's camera kind of killed it for me too.

I'm gonna give it another chance after I finish Dexter. It just didn't seem that interesting to me, but I'll tough it out. There's gotta be a reason some people like it more than Breaking Bad.

Lol, there is, I'd argue it's the best show ever made (and I watch a lot of TV)

When I first found out about the show, I watched the first episode and was bored, few months later tried again and got maybe 2-3 episodes in, then a few months later I finally just decided to get through the whole season and it became my favorite show ever

Right on.

I always enjoy some binge watching. I finished The Sopranos in a couple weeks. I stopped watching Lost in the last season because it got so ridiculous.

Stop taking what I say so literally, lol. Maybe it's the filters they use, it just seemed old and boring.

And yeah the cameras sort of have a gritty, almost journalistic style
