    Only saw the first two episodes, and was disappointed. But I'm gonna give it another chance and see how it goes.

    I have a hard time ranking the seasons. 4 is clearly the best and 5 is the worst, but 1,2, and 3 are all pretty close to each other IMO

    I remember somebody saying it starts a little slow, then gets amazing, so I'm gonna try to get into it this weekend.

    this is how I felt. Starts to pick up pretty much right when Omar gets introduced.

    Chess scene in season one will get you hooked. IIRC that happens in episode 3 or 4.

    i love how Deangelo is describing how the pawns are always the first one to die and thats their only use and then Bodie is like "not if you're a smart pawn"

    Just a heads up. 101 network (exclusive to Direct TV I believe) is going to start showing all the Wire episodes starting later this month.

    I fell asleep during the first two episodes...but then got hooked. Now I'm in the camp with all those above who think it's the GOAT. Definitely make a longer commitment to it before giving up.
