Im watching Season 2 of the Wire, i still can't believe how much hate it gets
its really amazing, how drugs get imported
the idea of working class men stooping to drugs to support a family is tragic,

-Frank Sabotka was a real fatherly character to everyone around him, sad how mistreated he got from the police unit, and the greek :to:

-Ziggy was annoying useless fukk, reminded me of Jesse in season 1 of Breaking Bad but more useless.

-Stringer pulling a Walter White on D'angelo in the prison

-Brother Mouzone was that nikka

Someone come in and here and defend the fact the first 7 ep is garbage and you waited 7 weeks to watch it :russ: I'm at my lap top and don't feel like turning on the 8th ep. :heh: at it gets good in the 3rd season, y'all waited 3 tears for it to get good :leostare:

Breaking bad had me hooked from the pilot, :why: the two aren't comparable :rudy:

You a fukkin lie :aicmon:

I have tried my ass off to get into breaking bad and as a result have skipped the pilot and the 2nd episode halfway through because theyre too fukking boring. the whole first season on my laptop lookin at me like :comeon:

and yea nikkas need to stop faking on season 2 like HHR said. I skipped it my first go around cause I saw too many white folks and the docks just seemed like a boring atmosphere. But my 2nd go around i watched it and it was just as good as the rest.

Season 5 is when the show jumped the shark. They should of just ended it after 4. They rushed the shyt out of season 5. The newspaper storyline wasn't even needed

Season 2 started out slow, but after episode 6 (when D got murked) is when shyt really started to get dope. The police work they did in season 2 was :whew:

I never really got Why Vondas and The Greek even came back to Baltimore in season 4. The way they explained it in season 2 was that them dudes moved from city to city.

If you watched Season 2 when it first came out, there's no fukking way you were propping it up. That shyt was STONE COLD garbage at first sight. Only in retrospect did it fit in the bigger picture.

bullshyt...if you thought it was garbage, you were probably watching The Wire just because it was "gangster" or "hood"......and you were doing it wrong.

R=G your trippin...Season 2 had a lot of ill moments. The dialogue and writing in that season was probally the best of the whole series

-D's Great Gatsby speech/Getting Murked
-Brother Mouzone
-Omar's confrontation with Stringer about Mouzone
-Ziggy murking Double G/His talk w/Frank in the pen
-Avon sonning Stringer that his business classes dont mean shyt
-McNulty's drunk driving scene
-The Greek's organization and how gully they were
-The beginning to Major Colvin's plot line
-Prop Joe's-cadaverous mothafukkas speech


The only thing i hated in season 2 was the Nicky Sobotka character. The dude was just annoying and a horrible actor.
