I mean don't get me wrong I enjoy it. it's a very solid show. Season 1 was fantastic.

But holy shite season 2 is garbage.

I don't give too shits about all these boring Polish people running around, the dialogue seems forced, I expect the show to be slow but this season is absolutely glacial.

How does this one get so much credit for being the GOAT? It's a solid police drama but man, it ain't that wonderful

Does it start to pick up after season 2? Just stick with it?

A decent number of people hated S2. They're the scum of the earth, but they aren't uncommon.

Why do you enjoy it so much SFP?

what makes Season 2 a good season in your eyes?

Cause I just don't see it. A bunch of small trime Polish people running around doing nothing, being boring. Ziggy might be worst character to ever appear on television.

Nothing good after Season 2. Quit while you're ahead.

Season 2 is always the shittiest season until you finish the whole series. Then, after a rewatch, you understand that it's one of the best seasons.

watching Frank Zbotka fall was a fricking modern Greek Tragedy, man

it's a tale of moral relativity, showing just how fricked normal people can get when they move their personal boundaries even a little

look at what frank lost and where his family was at, comparing ep 1 to ep 12. and what did he do wrong? nothing really bad. he wasn't a hardened criminal who was "in the game".

also, we got to see the rise of stringer as he saved the barksdale operation from disaster

Not my favorite show ever, I like the Sopranos, Breaking Bad, and GOT better, but top 5 for sure.

Season 2 was proably my least favorite season.

Just keep watching.

And how can S2 not be worth Nicky's old lady's boobs alone?

Season 2 is bad. Who gives a shite about the docks and McNulty doing fricking boat duty? But don't give up seasons 3-5 are out fricking standing.

ive watched the series completely, but only once.

i found S2 to be the weakest.

it does get exponentially better in S2/3 when the focus is more on the streets than anything else.
