Unpopular take: The Wire is way too slow and I don't get the hype

I forced myself through 8 episodes waiting for it to click like everyone said it would, but I realized around episode 5 that I was just zoning out and missing half the plot because nothing actually happens for long stretches.

Wait, is this really something people get worked up about? I sat through the whole first season and honestly half the time I was just checking my phone... the show is basically just cops talking on phones for 10 minutes at a time. Feels more like a documentary than something that's supposed to be entertaining.
