This show should spend less time on production design and building the "world" and more on creating interesting characters and an engaging narrative.

I'm still in, but that was the worst episode yet. This show has gotten all of the mileage it can out of the NYC backdrop, it is time for the show to stand on its own.

Show is elite IMO. I love everything. Thought these last couple of eps have been 5/5.

Have the writers introduced any conflict or crisis since the pilot? Asking for a friend.

I was pretty unimpressed with the pilot, obviously the 70s look was great but it was very slow and if you want a character to root for you are out of luck. Episode 2 & 3 were better but I expected a lot more tbh.

Have you guys ever watched any David Simon show? If so, did you like it/them? Cause saying things like it's slow and there's no plot doesn't make any sense, especially after four episodes.

The wire episode 1

Quote:

Homicide detective Jimmy McNulty observes the murder trial of a mid-level drug dealer, D'Angelo Barksdale, and sees the prosecution's star witness recant her testimony. McNulty recognises drug king-pin Stringer Bell in the court room and believes he has manipulated the proceedings. McNulty circumvents the chain of command by talking to the judge, who then places pressure on the police department over the case. D'Angelo is acquitted and returns to work for the Barksdale drug-dealing organization—moving to the low rise housing project known as "the pit." A homeless drug addict named Bubbles acts as mentor to another addict in an ill-conceived scam with severe consequences.[63]

Sets up the conflict between the police and the drug dealers in general and McNulty and Stringer/Avon in particular. Conflict!

Episode 2

Quote:

The witness who testified against D'Angelo is killed, and the Barksdale organization is suspected; a detail is formed to investigate their drug dealing activity in the low rises. The detail's Lieutenant, Cedric Daniels, is concerned with the quality of his team, while Detective McNulty is concerned with the department's plan for the investigation. Daniels' protégé Kima Greggs uses Bubbles as a confidential informant to identify members of the Barksdale organization. However, Daniels' suspicions about his other detectives prove correct when a late night foray into the West side projects by Herc, Carver and Prez goes awry.[64]

More conflict! STUFF IS HAPPENING

Episode 3

Quote:

The detectives' brutal actions lead to a minor riot, bad publicity for the detail, injury to Herc, and Prez losing his weapon and being placed on office duty. D'Angelo gives young dealers Wallace and Bodie Broadus a lesson about their place in the Barksdale hierarchy. The detail finally starts to see results as Lester Freamon obtains an old picture of Avon Barksdale. Stick-up man Omar Little takes advantage of D'Angelo's crew's lapses and steals their stash of narcotics. The pit is later raided by the police and Bodie receives a beating for striking an officer, but nothing turns up due to Omar's robbery

Crisis! More conflict.

Episode 4

Quote:

Bodie wakes up from his injuries in a Washington, D.C. area juvenile detention center and manages to escape just before Herc and Carver arrive to interrogate him. Avon discusses the loss of the pit's stash with his enforcers and marks Omar and his crew for death. McNulty and Bunk Moreland, his partner from homicide, investigate an old murder that may be related to D'Angelo

THINGS ARE HAPPENING

I don't know man, seems like a bunch of conflict and crisis and plot in the first 4 episodes of The Wire.

Just pointing out that there was plenty of plot and conflict in the first four episodes of The Wire. So your statement "cause saying things like it's slow and there's no plot doesn't make any sense" really doesn't seem to apply to the Simon show that most people are most familiar with...
