The Wire - Season 2 Review
by iwantmycookies | created - 26 Aug 2015 | updated - 29 Aug 2015 | PublicSeason rating - 8.5-great
Highlight episode - All Prologue
Another great season, although it never reached the heights of the first. It served as a great showcase of the docks and the workers struggle within them, the Greek arc pretty interesting, too.
