Although I often see fans of the show describe it as their least favourite of the 5 seasons, season 2 is where I was became obsessed with The Wire. Season one hooked me for sure, but the change of direction in season 2 caught me off guard in a good way. The characters and storylines are what always keep me watching and now rewatching.
I intend to watch all of it.
It has been called the best TV series ever, and even if I don’t end up agreeing with that final assessment, as far as watching TV goes, I am pretty confident I won’t end up feeling like I completely wasted my time.
