Yeah I can imagine all the hype is hard to live up to. When it first came on HBO I didn't see any of the hype (if I remember correctly HBO really didn't advertise the show much behind a generic "wire" graphic) and might not have started watching it if it didn't come on after "The Sopranos" and I set my vcr to record 5 minutes over and thus I caught the opening scene about the murder of Snot Bogie and then saw the Baltimore police car in the opening credits. Since I was already a fan of "Homicide" (the book and tv show) that's all it took to hook me.
The show really does reward the time you spend with it, so I hope you can catch up with it at some point. And HBO does need to make it dvds cheaper.
