Funny you mention the Wire. Ive just watched the first 3 episodes and really cant see what all the fuss is about, can someone enlighten me?
Yes its gritty, but it is a bit slow, just seems to plod along, does it get better? thinking back though, the Sopranos was a bit like that and I ended up loving that.
Ill stick with the wire for a bit to see if it lives up to its “best series ever made” status.
