Took me 3 rewatches of The Wire before I realized I was skipping the court scenes
I thought the show was just about the street stuff and the police wiretaps. Every time there was a court scene I'd scroll past it on my phone. Then my buddy asked me what I thought about the Stringer Bell trial arc and I had no idea what he was talking about. Went back and watched those episodes properly and it changes the whole season. Anybody else skip parts of a show and then find out later you missed major plot points?

Skipping scenes in The Wire is like skipping chapters in a dictionary.

Oh man, I did the exact same thing with the court scenes in season 2. @robinson.hannah hit it right on the head, I basically read the cliff notes version of the show on my first watch.
