My sister bet me I couldn't finish all 5 seasons of The Wire by her wedding in June, so I watched 62 episodes in 24 days
Back in April my sister got engaged and said there was no way I'd make it through The Wire before her wedding in June. I took that personally. I started on a Monday night and knocked out the first three episodes before bed, then did the math and realized I needed about 3 episodes a night plus weekends to hit 62 total. The middle stretch around season 3 got rough, I fell asleep twice during work calls and had to rewatch whole chunks, but by the end I was doing 5 episodes on Saturdays with a pizza and my phone face down so I wouldn't get spoiled. Finished with 9 days to spare and texted her a pic of the final credits. Now I keep seeing people online say the first season is slow and they bounce after 4 episodes, which blows my mind because that slow build is the whole point, the show earns every big moment instead of handing you one in episode 2. So what's the show you almost quit early that ended up being the best thing you watched that stretch? I need another one to burn through before football season starts.
