The Wire Season Two

[Scalito]

Going to start this one tomorrow night. Apparently I'm not gonna like it, . . . . . What should know in advance?

Nothing, everything is better when you know nothing. That's why we have Trump as president.

It's not bad - it's just totally disconnected from the rest of the series.

It's a season that is better when re-watched. The characters are great, and it's like a Greek tragedy in its structure. But as whaler said, it is an entirely different perspective on the drug crisis than season 1.

Oh the irony on this phrase.

A side note. Bill Raymond, who is the Greek boss, played Scrooge in the Hartford Stage Version of a Christmas Carol for 18 years.

The Wire is still one of my favorites.

Season 2 wasn't that bad. Season 3 was probably my favorite though.

It's not disconnected from rest of series. There are continuations of story lines of the lions share of the important characters from season 1. It's just that the main story arc is very different.

You will like it .

Season Two follows McNulty just like the rest of the series. The season is set on the docks because McNulty has been reassigned to the Marine Unit. It also follows the overall theme of the show, but instead of illustrating the effects of corrupted black poor urban youth, It shows it's effect on the middle aged white blue-collar union worker, while continuing to show the dysfunctional politics within law enforcement.

When I first watched the series, I noticed the music of Season Two. Tom Waits performs the opening theme, "Way Down in the Hole" (He wrote the original.), and Steve Earle (featured later on) performs the season ending montage song, "I Feel Alright." The music in general reflects the theme of the individual seasons.

I enjoyed it a lot. It was very well done. Not sure that it is mind boggling good---the way you and some others spoke about it raised expectations to impossible levels to meet. But that's not a fair standard.

I'm definitely glad I'm watching it in binge fashion. It's a nice long movie, and I've enjoyed it enough that I have it penciled in for the remainder of the week.

The series as a whole is the score here.

Also, its 3 and 4 that are transcendent. But all are great.

You should re-watch the series so you can see that S2 is really where The Wire begins.

Did you finish season 1?

Did you finish season 1?

Yep! Mostly agree with that it was good but I wouldn't quite call it great just yet.

Sellout.

I don't like the fact that one of the features of this site, bold vs. un-bold, which indicates a new post in a thread, remains bold until you click on the thread, is somehow mixed in with regular Cesspool threads, even though these particular threads are targeted to or created by followers of some random show on a random cable network. Is there any way to clean this up?
