At first you may wonder what all the fuss is about, but if you stick with it you'll be richly rewarded. One of the show's taglines is 'All the pieces matter' and it's so true. One seemingly innocuous scene early on will have ramifications seasons later.
Plenty of shows have been labeled 'The best show ever', The Wire has a legitimate claim to that title.
It's a masterpiece, the only downside is that you'll feel a sort of void once it's over. I can't recommend it enough.
