The thing is that even if it takes years, the wire is like fine wine that’s still aging. I know I personally snoozed during the first episode when I had the wrong impression about what the show with cops and drug dealers would be about. On a rewatch it’s so entertaining and it does take a certain mindset to enjoy. For me it was when I noticed I didn’t necessarily enjoy shows about a certain theme but as GRRM put it “stories about people”.
