season 2 is actual my personal favorite. It’s drastically underrated. The stark contrast with S1 and shifting scenery from the PJs to the docks after developing the characters in S1 so well left a sour taste in everyone’s mouths.
However, upon rewatch, S2 is excellent and imperative to understand how the real players/int’l crime groups get drugs in the country and then bounce out of the country. “Many names…many passports”.
The fbi mole, the Greek snitching on the Colombians to not only get revenge on them for not paying but also to keep his mole happy and influential in the fbi.
The Greek was the most powerful person in the entire show…(maaaybe Carcetti once governor)
Excellent critiques of globalization, lobbyism, gentrification in S2 as well. McNulty’s rant at the lawyers and prosecutors “I’m not a member of your wicked little tribe”
Ziggy was a lame I’ll concede that
