Re: The Wire -- What Am I Missing?
[ QUOTE ]
The Wire watches like I'm actually in the police department for a day, sitting down and watching them do their job.
For a television show, that is boring. I want them to cut down on the boring filler, and really show me what it's about.
The drug scenes, with Avon Barksdale's cousin or whatever dude is, are great. But otherwise -- Episode Four, at least -- it's just everyone walking around, talking, and saying [censored] all the time.
I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't this. I also thought the dialogue would be a lot better. It's a big case of hit or miss.

Wait. You say the show depicts what a day in the life of a cop is like, yet you want the boring filler cut out so they can "really show me what its all about". They ARE showing you what its all about.
You also thought the dialogue would be better? As opposed to what? The dialogue in 24?
Perhaps an increase in ADD medication will help.
