Big fan of Marlo. Dude is cold blooded and no one could really stop him. He has a scene in Season 5 that is one of the best of the entire series. "My name IS my name."


fricking hated that dude but that line was pretty good.

Omar was the best, but I even liked Barksdale more than Marlo. I might have a different opinion watching it all again, but he came across acting too tough. I didn't get why he was the chosen one.

Season two is probably the most important for the overall story of the series.


Yeah I'd say so too.

it definitely took a few episodes to get into it though. It kind of reminded me of my job (dock worker). So at first I was like, what the hell, I don't want to see this but it sure does tie into to everything later on.

That is insane man. I just finished season 1 last night too. Hopefully it gets better because seemed a little slow to me.

Season 2 is fantastic...

But besides those beautiful bosoms season 2 will show you how far the rabbit hole really goes... although the full scope hit you until much later on in the show.

Season 2 is great. Probably my 2nd favorite season of the Wire.

Same here. Marlo was great.

I hated Snoop, but Chris Partlow was one of my favorites...dude was just cold blooded as frick.

Also, we're bordering on spoiler-ish information for the OP.

I've watched The Wire start to finish twice and I don't understand why so many people rank S2 so low. It's actually my favorite season.

I'm not sure what their isn't to like about it.

For me, it just felt kinda out if place a little. And that's not really a bad thing at all, but it does lower the rank a bit for me. However, it's still great television though.

I agree with what someone said about how season 2 is almost like a stand alone series in itself.

The more times I watch it (the series from beginning to end), the more I like Season 2. It takes a little while to see the beauty in it imo.

Other than the last season, which is still good, they are all perfection.

From my hometown paper: LINK

Reminds me of DeAngelo Barksdale's trial. Almost to a T.
