When would yall say it hits its stride?
Watching it for the first time. First couple eps are pretty outlandish. It’s like they just made an “edgy” law and order.
The pilot might be one of the worst of the “prestige era.” Everyone is a cartoon character

Season 4 - Glenn close season. Noticeable jump in quality from really good show to Mt Rushmore of shows. Season 5 with Whitaker was the strongest season however.
Just reread your post. I don’t know what to tell you as most here would agree it hits its stride right away. I’ll give you the production looks very dated. .But by season 4, any datedness is long since stripped away. I’ll go so far as to say that Season 5 is the best season of tv i have ever seen, and that includes all the usual suspects (Wire, Sopranos, Breaking Bad).

As I said on the other thread, The Shield was wracking up awards after Season1, on the approximate budget of a high school production. I wish I had watched it in order. I didn't have cable when it debuted and watched out of order when it hit syndication, so I had already seen a lot by the time I saw the pilot. Still caught me off guard. Pretty bold at the time to lay the cards out in the first episode like that.
