Movie Reviews of The Wire - The Complete Second Season
Movie Review: The Saga Continues
Summary: 4 Stars
The second season takes a turn... While not an expected continuation, the second season of The Wire delivers with all the drama, action and "street cred" of the first, this time focusing on life on the docks. The season continues and wraps deeper into the first season to push the overall direction of the series further. Don't let the first few episodes deter you, the season will bring you back for more.Movie Review: Different from the other seasons, but still superb
Summary: 5 Stars
Although the topic of the second season, Baltimore's harbor livelihood, is not quite as compelling as the season-one stories of inherited and enforced poverty, it makes interesting points about an ethnic (Caucasian) community that can't or won't embrace the American shift from an industrial to a service economy. Interwoven are season one's stories of Avon and Stringer, and an intro to the Russian mafiya's contribution to drugs and prostitution. And Omar is back, a stand-up man in spite of being gay in a straight world, black in a white world, poor in the richest nation in the world. You gotta love a guy who steals from drug lords. Movie Review: Great TV

Summary: 5 Stars
Season 1 of The Wire was a stunning bit of non-tv. Intricate storytelling, fine acting, great dialogue. Putting that final 13th episode down I was sure that I had just finished watching an unsurpasable achievement; an honesty in storytelling that is often reserved for the hardest hitting documentaries. And then I opened up the green case of Season 2. The first episode went by, and I must admit I was ever-so-slightly disappointed. "Nutty" was demoted, heck, everyone was demoted or stepped on in some fashion. My beloved Barksdales had been smashed apart. And then episode 2, 3, 4, 5 hits and wow! The docks provide a whole new array of characters, both likable and detestable. The storyline starts to really weave, the mosaic starts to take shape, and the second season roles by and one ups the first in its complexity and careful integration of the first season. I cannot recommend this show enough.
