While the detail is on ice, a new case begins...

Just as good if not better!

Series 2 is different than series 1, both in terms of setting, plot lyne, intensity, but just as good if not better... The dock unions are a very interesting bunch of antagonists for the police, and I love the way you feel and always know that whatever great police work is being done, the criminals are always one step ahead. As I said re series 1: I would be disappointed with anyone who is disappointed with the Wire.
The Docks

Creator David Simon has focussed each of the series on a different aspect of Baltimore's decaying urban scene. This series looks at the hard-as-nails docks-workers, as their paths overlap with the drug street scene, and that of 'The Greek' - the notoriously mysterious source of the dope. Not quite as enthralling as the other series, it acts as a great interlude in between the Avon Barksdale plot thread. A great series, with some great acting.
Television perfection

The Wire is quite simply one of the best tv shows ever created. In fact I would go as far to say that along with The Sopranos, it is THE best show ever made for tv.
Being a big fan of The Sopranos for many years I never thought I would find anything else that could match its brilliance. However, The Wire not only matches it but in my opinion probably surpasses it because of the consistency of how brilliant each season is.
If you haven't seen The Wire yet then you are missing out. Buy all 5 seasons on DVD and you won't regret it. I couldn't recommend it any more.
