Why didn't The Wire get as much attention as Game of Thrones?

I’ve watched the first five episodes of the wire, and so far am not captivated. Does it get better? Like, a LOT better?

Of the 1st 5 eps, only episode 3 was excellent. All of the others were just “meh” at best.

It gets better, just be patient. Read Alan Sepinwall’s episode recaps as you go, it’s well worth the ride.

S2 is even better than the first, but S3 and S4 are what makes this the best that television has to offer

Also, this.
