I missed the boat on The Wire by like 20 years. Recently I gave S1E1 a chance and couldn’t get over how unauthentic the acting was by those thugs in the project.
trolling
for the uninformed: They literally hired thugs from the projects to play the thugs from the projects.
The Wire was awesome. Should be #2 or 3
Snoop is such a great character on that show.
The scene where she's buying the nail gun at the hardware store is hilarious.

From the opening scene you have an angry street type brotha talm bout “snot”. Who shot Snot?
I’m gonna give it another chance… I’m sure I’m just being impatient and mildly racist or something. But I swear to god if by episode 6 it hasn’t hooked me I’ll make you bastards pay for it.

I did not watch Breaking Bad or The Wire until like 2021. Always heard Breaking Bad and The Wire were the 2 best shows ever. Watched Breaking Bad first and thought this is a great show. Now time for The Wire....I'm not sure if it didn't age well or what but I give it a 6 at best. I finished it, but I did not find it interesting at all. But most cop/detective type shows bore me to tears. Oh another show with crooked cops who hate their lives and their wives want to divorce them.

My brother watched the Wire recently and loved it.

There are no good modern shows anymore, they are all filled with woke propaganda.
Not sure about the woke part. United States and most other countries have just become thin skinned. Fat momma and sister jokes offend almost everyone today.
