O/T The Wire

Yea I didn't much care for those characters either...but i think, at least in the part of Janice and Christopher at times...you're meant to dislike them. They aggrivate our protagonist Tony more often than not and that shines through. I didn't hate Melfi (the psych) but on my rewatch those scenes tended to be my least favorite. Of the 3 pillars of the show, Tony's self reflection became my least favorite. His mob life and family life were more interesting.
