Série ilustríssima, nessa temporada já percebemos que ela é bem escrita e com personagens mais destacados. A comédia sempre vem em momentos oportunos.
-
It is by far the weakest season but is neccesary to experience the full story, hence the highest rating
-
Season 2 continues the storylines set up in Season 1 with the addition of a new group of criminals set up in the Baltimore Port. This season felt a little more climactic than in the first, I think as a result of the show being a little more established, they feel more comfortable in their own skin. Also a lot of great performances in this season, with a special shoutout going to Chris Bauer who played Frank.
-
Only season of the show I didn't like. Boring.
-
Even if the expansion of new sectors of Baltimore can look messy , the wire manages to bring us not just realism , social criticism and good performances but a real good lesson of how to create a gripping story
-
It is an important part of 'The Wire'' puzzle.
-
This is where The Wire begins to expose the intricacy of it's intentions now that it has your full undivided attention. The character pool extends with the introduction of a blue collar workforce, far more contingent to the average viewer than mettlesome cops and robbers. The industry side of the story is perhaps not as engaging as the criminal element consistent throughout the shows entirety, but the way these inner city compartments are tied together is.
-
The first five episodes were a little slow, interesting but nothing very surprising happening, but like the first season, it keeps engrossing you as the season goes on. Season 2 of The Wire brings in new characters giving off a different vibe than its first season and could be a little confusing for some to keep up with the large amount of characters, but it sticks with its critical social and political commentary with this season focusing on the the poor treatment of industry workers. The season also has some great performances from the actors of the old characters and the new.

When I first watched the Series 1 E 01 had no idea what this series headed for, no sooner till the 2nd series end, I was blown way by the brilliance of the ambience of the whole series.
-
David Simon is a genius and The Wire is his magnum opus. The greatest TV show of all time, no question. Season 2 carries a depth very different from the rest of the show. The most exploratory season.
