My brother told me to give The Wire 3 episodes before quitting. He was dead on.
I tried watching The Wire back in 2019 and shut it off 40 minutes into the pilot because the sound mixing made half the dialogue impossible to hear. My brother Rob, who never recommends anything, said to push through exactly 3 episodes and if I still hated it he would drop it forever. Episode 4 is when the pieces clicked and I finished all 5 seasons in 11 days, skipping sleep like an idiot. Now I pass the same rule to anyone who bails on a slow pilot, but has the 3 episode rule ever failed you? Give me a show where you pushed through and it stayed bad the whole way.

Man I feel this so hard, that sound mixing complaint is so real and nobody talks about it. My 3 episode rule totally failed me with The Walking Dead though, pushed through way more than 3 and it just kept getting worse every season. Gave up around season 5 and never looked back.
