Season 2 starts slow but it overall made the wire a better tv show

Up for debate whether it's Wire, Sopranos, or Thrones for best ever
I take turns rewatching Sopranos and The Wire from the beginning. Currently in the middle of season 2 of the Sopranos. Pauly Walnuts is :mjlol:

Both shows are genius. I keep catching little hints of piff that I never noticed before.

I'm on season 2 right now and it seems that the setting has moved from the projects courtyard and to some boat docks.

There are some loose ends tied up in S2 from S1 as well. It can be a slow moving season somewhat. You will come to hate Ziggy when it's over.

I am almost halfway through S2 and I can say that is is moving pretty slow regarding the Barksdale plot, but this maritime thing is picking up.

It's real clear that they tried hard to finesse this switching of themes.

Regarding season 2, they had to add white people to the show as it was too "black" to cross over to white audiences, hence the storyline with the white boys.

That season really did set up the story for the later seasons though.

You weren't kidding. This Eastern European thing kinda comes out of nowhere. They really shoehorned them into the plot.
