The Wire Season Two sits oddly with me - I find myself almost considering the docks storyline and the Barksdale gang storyline as being two totally different shows. Much as I really love both story arcs, somehow they don't work that well together and I'm unsure why.
But Season One is magnificent once you get used to the pace. I found myself watching episode after episode without quite understanding why I kept coming back until the infamous 'fuck' scene with Bunk and McNulty. Hook, line and sinker. To the extent that I've been basically squeeing all week waiting for tonight's episode of The Culture Show over here featuring David Simon talking about The Wire.
