Same thing happened to me with Breaking Bad.  I missed it while it was still airing, but binged watched it on Netflix after the series was over because everyone recommended it.

Breaking Bad was increasingly dark but also a magnificent story arc for the characters and as wild as it was in terms of being believable, I found it plausible enough start to finish that it didn't distract me and it really sucked me in.

As for the Wire, this is tough for non-natives really. But also a great show.

So you could try to befriend him, which isn't all that easy, he is quite demanding and a whole ocean blocks your charms. What you could do is choose a semi-legal (at best) option on the internet, but I would of course never openly suggest that to a judge. A PM could allow me to expand though.
