Season 2 is one of my favorites... shows the bigger picture than just the hood. Shows it was going on at every level, not just the projects.

The Sobotka story was phenomenal. A can’t get right son and cousin/nephew that got too deep in. How drugs tore up that family...the docks was a funny place...and they still gave you the hood aspect of it too...just moreso in the background...



season 4 tho :whoo::ohlawd:
Thats TV at its finest. Elite level programming. The acting, storytelling, all of it...hell I remember, in college, the first time I saw that Randy in the police station after the fire...the last words to end the episode...”you gonna protect me? Huh? Officer Carver.”:sadbron::sadbron::sadbron: I was literally in tears. I loved Randy, he was one of my favorite characters in the whole show...

TV just doesn’t have that now...thus, why I don’t watch

I started a rewatch a few months ago and stopped after season 3. Season 2 is genius but that's hard to see the firsrt time around. The dock shyt was dope, best investigation out of the whole series, all the police were on fire. Only thing that really fukks it up is Ziggy. If Ziggy was less annoying I bet money people wouldn't feel the same way about S2. Man, fukk Ziggy

Now season 3 is straight fukkery. From an entertainment standpoint gotta be my #1

Avon warring with Marlo :whoo:
Stringer fukking up :snoop:
All the package names in Hamsterdam :pachaha:

The little breh saying "I got that Rashid and Ben-o" :deadrose:

"Got that Plymouth Rock" :deadmanny:

I can't watch season 4 again :mjcry:

I enjoyed Season 2. I've always said people just don't like it not because it's bad but because of the dramatic change in tone from season one. Ziggy is also one of the most extremely annoying characters in TV history so that didn't help either.

Season 5 is cool, but I could have done without the newspaper aspect of it. I found none of those characters interesting or memorable at all.

Seasons 2 was ass but I wouldn't skip it.... Every season is a necessary watch for the overall bigger picture


But yeah, season 2 and 5 are buttcheeks.


Season 4 is God tier though
That’s why I can never put the wire as one of the goat shows. Season 2 and 5 was terrible
