After much delaying, humming and hawing, I eventually dove in and tried the Wire, and really liked it. Up to the end of season one, it was becoming one of my favourite progs. Then they all changed for season 2. First there was no explanation or warning given; suddenly we were at the docks, in some place other than Baltimore, and all the characters I'd come to know seemed gone. I was confused, annoyed and after about five episodes I angrily gave up. It was like a totally different show to me.
Thing is, does anyone know if they went back to the usual setting for season 3, and if so, is it possible to pick up again there, without knowing what went on in season 2? I'd like to get back into the show, but season 2 really turned me off it.
As for Deadwood, I just hated the totally gratuitous swearing and gave it up as a bad job after the first episode. Didn't see the point: shock value really.
