wrapped up season 2 of the wire of my 4th viewing
i now have a greater appreciation for season 2 and take back all the bashing i did about it
season 2 is the glue to the rest of the series and actually is pretty good if you look at if from that angle, and less from the Barksdale pov, which admittedly, i did.
I found myself for the first time feeling sorry for Frank Sobatka. Actually felt sorry for Ziggy too. Dude just wanted to fit in and just made bad choice after bad choice as a result
The major crime unit did much better this go around which was evident in how they navigated the case vs the first Barksdale season. This season also took me back in time when texting was just starting to become a thing. We've come a LONG way since the early days of it lol. That was cool to see and reflect upon
after this viewing, i move it into the top 3 of the series.
I go, for now:
S1
S3
S2
S4
S5
