TOAO The Wire Season 4 Thread

Recommended Posts

How necessary is it to watch the first season? 'Cause I just started on it and so far everything relating to the detectives bores the shit out of me.

Definitely a neccessity for seasons 2 and 3, maybe not so much for Season 4. But you need to watch Season 2 and 3 to get Season 4.

 

 

The Wire is definitely is one of those "You get or you don't" series, since it's fairly complex plot-wise. You can't turn off your brain while watching it or else it can be quite boring.

 

 

I've found with some of the seasons (2 and 3 in particular), the show spent a few episodes setting up and weren't incredibly compelling (They were still good, just not great). But the season got progressively better as the season went on.

It's the visual novel way of TV.

 

Those first episodes are like the first chapters of a book. They might not seem like the most important but they are laying the ground work for everything that comes after.

 

If you watch the earlier episodes again after seeing the later ones you pick up on many little things you didn't notice the first time.
