I started watching The Wire recently expecting a very dry show that's difficult to understand but I found it gripping from the start. The characters felt real and the world very fucked up and interesting.
Season 2 was good, but I didn't understand why they kept the drug dealers plot on ice. It seemed like filler.
By season 3 it turned into every other TV show where characters are just tools used to express a story rather real people.
I stopped watching a few episodes into season 4 because I couldn't be bothered to care.
I would understand the heaps of praise The Wire gets if it were limited to season 1 (maybe 2 as well), but the reset doesn't seem that good.
