Ah no! Season 2 is almost the best season and has some of the best acting. Chris Bauer as Frank Sobotka is one of the best performances ever.
It’s almost a meme that season 2 is jarring on a first watch but you have to think about The Wire as more than about a gang and the cops but about America, and in some respects, it’s about post-industrial western societies and nowhere is that theme more real and visceral as in the dock workers of season 2.
Great show but season 2 is such a momentum killer I’d probably watch them 1,3,4,2,5 if I was going to rewatch
