A question for those of you who worship at the altar of HBO original series, as I do...

Was it just me, or was the first episode of "The Wire" almost wholly unoriginal? I was hoping for something different, and it kind of let me down. It was simply a mixture of every melodramatic cop show on broadcast TV... albeit with "fucks" thrown into every scene. Personally, it just wasn't as fresh as FX's The Shield.

I'll give it a few more chances, but I'll instead be watching The Man Show and Crank Yankers this Sunday, and TiVo The Wire for later viewing.
