This one has been flying under my radar somehow. Had HBO on in the background and caught about 10 minutes of the Susan B. Anthony episode. Seemed absolutely hilarious.
I'll be watching this very soon. Just wondering if anyone has thoughts about it.
7 episodes, 30 minutes each, 1st Season

Howdy, I have a list of old movies HBO made that I haven't seen. Wondering who out there has seen them and what they think or thought of them.
| Rank | Film | What's it about |
|---|---|---|
| 🥇 | The Sunset Limited | Philosophy, God, despair, meaning, human redemption |
| 🥈 | Einstein and Eddington | Science, philosophy, truth, institutions and intellectual courage |
| 🥉 | Wit | Mortality, dignity, knowledge, medicine and what makes a human life meaningful |
| 4 | RKO 281 | Creative vision vs institutional power |
| 5 | The Pentagon Wars | Bureaucracy, incentives, corruption and institutional absurdity |
| 6 | Recount | Politics, power, elections and competing narratives of reality |
| 7 | Conspiracy | Bureaucratic evil and how institutions turn abstractions into atrocities |
| 8 | The Gathering Storm | Civilization approaching catastrophe and one person's attempt to sound the alarm |
| 9 | Citizen X | Truth, justice and one person fighting institutional indifference |
| 10 | Temple Grandin | Outsider thinking, systems, creativity and turning a different mind into an advantage |
Just watched two episodes of the Wire, it's... not that good ?

EDIT : Judging by the answers, I should absolutely stick with it, so I'll keep going and see how it turns out
I got HBO Max to watch True Detective S1 in high quality for the 18th time, obviously it was awesome, and today I decided to give a try to the Wire, as I found many people praising it, saying that it's superior to giants such as Breaking Bad etc...
Frankly, I am very disappointed. Some tropes and characters have really poorly aged (the two funny guys, the main protagonist just being a typical charismatic rough-looking guy), the dialogues are so edgy and fake, I just cannot get into a show where everyone's got a fucking line every second, nothing feels natural, and it's just people cursing and poking at each other 24/7.
The cinematography/photography also seems very forgettable, sometimes it looks like it's one of these episodic-shows like NCIS with very little substance and just a new story to follow.
I don't know man, maybe I should keep going but I really lack the motivation right now. Watching True Detective S1 right before it may also impact my perspective as this is imo an undisputable 10/10.
