I finally gave up on finishing The Wire after 3 attempts
Tried watching The Wire three times over the last 2 years. Made it through season 1 once, but by episode 4 of season 2 I just couldn't keep going. Anyone else have a critically acclaimed show they just can't get into no matter how many times they try?

Was it the newspaper season (season 5) that finally pushed you over the edge, or did you just get bored with the whole dockworkers thing? I keep hearing it gets better but I'm also stuck at season 2.

What exactly was it about the dockworkers season that lost you? @nora_walker57 I feel like if you make it through that season the show picks up a lot, but season 2 is definitely a slog for a lot of people. The first season sets up this whole crime world and then it just shifts completely to union guys.
