I think The Wire has benefited most from the Netflix viewer. I first watched when you could get discs in the mail. It lowered the cost of entry (cheaper than HBO or buying it) and allowed an easy binge. Yes, the first few episodes are slow, and the payoff at the end of the season isn't great (I think the arrest of…
