PSA: I tried to watch the first season of The Wire in one weekend

I figured it was only 13 episodes, so it should be easy. I didn't count on each episode being so dense that I needed a break to think about it. It ended up taking me almost three weeks to finish because I could only do one or two episodes at a time. Does anyone else have shows they have to watch slowly like that?

Come on, it's just a TV show. People act like it's homework for a college class. You can watch more than one episode without your brain melting.

Oh man, trying to binge The Wire is like trying to eat a whole wedding cake in one sitting (sounds good in theory, but you will absolutely regret it). That show is so packed with detail and characters that your brain needs a cooldown lap after each episode. My record was maybe two in a night before I had to go stare at a wall and think about Baltimore. Some shows are just built different, you know?
