My brother told me to skip the first season of 'The Wire' and I'm glad I didn't listen

He said the first season was too slow and to start with season two. I tried it his way and was totally lost with the new dockworker characters. I went back and watched from the beginning, and that first season setting up McNulty and the Barksdale crew was key. Anyone else get bad advice about where to start a show?

Nah, skipping the Parks and Rec pilot is different though, that first season is just rough. The Wire season one is slow but it's all important setup.

Remember when my friend almost quit The Office?

What about shows where the pilot is just a bad episode? I tried watching the first episode of Parks and Rec a few years ago and hated it. A friend had to beg me to skip to season two, and that totally worked for me.
