House Of Cards Season 2

so basically the the .gov funds the drugs, corrupt cops and politicians, the uncle gets killed (or incarcerated) and then the some pawn moves up and takes the kingpins place. Kids die from drive-by's and overdosing. Is this pretty much the gist of the story line? The acting and story telling is weak as fuck in season 1. I will try to stick with it and binge the shit out of it for a couple days.

There's a lot more to the plot that make it a lot better than what you described. There's so many moving pieces to a season, how they move it together strategically and the amount of depth you get from each storyline makes it viewed as one of the best shows on tv -- undeniable cult classic. Still might not be for you though which is whatever though.

Who knows, you might be a weirdo and love season 2 and that might hook you.

So this quote inspired me to check out the wire. I am starting at season 1 and am about 5 episodes in. My question is when does it get to the level of "great"? I am having a real hard time getting into The Wire. Do I need to skip a season or 2?

Why do you have a hard time getting into it? There's a lot of characters and a lot of development of those characters.

It's not a Breaking Bad kind of show, it is the kind of show that looks at both sides of the coin.

It only gets better imo, you need to learn the characters first to care about them, but the real genius is the way the writers don't do any cop outs or dramatic turns just for the story.

Just stick with it. It's the goat show imo, allthough Sopranos a close second, but I can see how it is not for everyone.

Breaking Bad was also great, but compared to The Wire it is almost cartoonish in its storytelling.
