The Wire: S2

Originally I thought this was the weakest season, but after a second g0-around, I am in love.  L-O-V-E!  I think I was angry that the drug plot was sidelined this season.  But now looking at it, I see the docks as another important element to the decay of the U.S. culture.  Unions in particular have been gutted since the 80’s and people have to do what they have to do to stay alive even if that means doing something illegal.  I loved the eventual reunion of the police team.  I was oddly sexually attracted to Ziggy, which of course kind of scared me.  I loved seeing my favorites Omar, Bubbs, String and the others featured in-between the docks plotline.  This show is outstanding and a must-see for everyone.
