I don't have the wire in my top 5 shows list, personally, but I didn't find it to be the "you have to watch it for 10 episodes before you'll get it" type of deal. It's more like certain seasons are stronger than others. "You have to watch a few episodes before you'll get into it" was more what Breaking Bad was, for me.
