My brother told me to skip the first season of 'The Wire' and I'm glad I finally ignored him.
He said it was 'too slow' and to start with season 2, but after watching the whole thing from the beginning last month, I realized you need those 13 episodes to understand the city and the characters, so has anyone else gotten bad advice about where to start a show?
Oh man, that's the worst. It feels like people give that kind of advice for everything now, like skipping to the "good part" and missing all the setup. No wonder you were lost.
