I gave up on 'The Wire' after two episodes, then a friend told me to skip to season 4
I tried to start 'The Wire' last year but found the first couple episodes slow and confusing. A buddy said to just jump ahead to season 4, which focuses on the school system. I did, and I was hooked immediately, then went back and watched the earlier seasons with way more interest. Has anyone else used a non-chronological start to get into a show that everyone says is great?

Nah, @nancy3, skipping ahead kills the whole point. You gotta earn those good seasons by suffering through the slow parts. The Wire's buildup matters.

Yeah, the "friend did that with Lost" thing is so real. I mean, it's like we all have that one show we tell people to watch but then warn them not to finish. I see it all the time now, sean_robinson, where the fun is in the mystery and not the answers. Maybe it's just me but I feel like we're all getting better at quitting stuff that stops being fun.
