My brother in law said skip season 1 of The Wire, I'm 4 episodes in and confused
He swore the first season was slow and to just jump to season 2 when I visited him in Denver over Memorial Day. So I skipped ahead like he told me and I have no clue who half these dock workers are or why I should care. Did anyone else get bad advice like this and go back to fix it, or did you just push through?
Wait, your brother in law told you to skip season 1 of The Wire?? That is insane to me because season 1 is literally where you meet Stringer Bell and Omar, two of the best characters on TV ever. I can't believe someone who watched the show would say that, the dock stuff in season 2 only lands if you already know the Barksdale crew from season 1. Honestly just go back and restart from episode 1, it's worth it.
