Editorial Review:
Description:
(HBO Dramatic Series) The most unvarnished, uncompromising and realistic police drama ever returns for another hard hitting season. McNolty has been demoted to harbor patrol, Daniels is in the police archive dungeon, Prez is chafing in the suburbs and Gregs is stuck behind a desk. Meanwhile, on the docks of the Baltimore harbor, the rank and file scrounge for work and the union bosses take illegitimate measures to reinvigorate business, but a horrific discovery is about to blow the whole port inside out. While the detail is on ice, a new case begins...

It hardly seems possible, but The Wire's second season is even better than the first. The "visual novel" concept of this masterful HBO series is taken even further in a rich, labyrinthine plot revolving around the longshoremen of Baltimore's struggling cargo docks, where corruption, smuggling, and murder draw the attention of detective McNulty (Dominic West). What follows is a series of events which at first seem unrelated (including 13 bodies found in a cargo container), and then the ongoing effort to topple the drug empire of "Stringer" Bell (Idris Elba) and the imprisoned Avon Barksdale (Wood Harris), whose business is suffering from short supply, high demand, and disruption of distribution. The dutiful diligence of a Marine Police Patrol Officer and the moral outrage of the longshoremen's union leader are also factored into the suspicious goings-on at the loading docks, and what unfolds in these 12 episodes is an American crime epic easily on par with the Godfather saga. Yes, it's that good.
Detailed synopsis is pointless; The Wire must be seen, heard, and absorbed to fully appreciate the way in which over 40 characters are flawlessly incorporated into a sprawling but tightly disciplined plot that deals, in the larger sense, with the deindustrialization of America and the struggle of longshoremen in a changing economical climate. Offering a privileged and occasionally frightening glimpse of the inner workings of shipping ports and cargo transports, The Wire is also a detailed exposé of organized crime and blue-collar corruption, and an authentic, well-informed study of political maneuvering among police and city officials. There's not a single false note to be found in the cast, direction, or writing of this phenomenal series, hailed by many critics as "the best show on television." With all due respect to HBO's other excellent series, The Wire tops them all. --Jeff Shannon

Instead of waiting weeks for my DVD set order, it arrived in a matter of days. In perfect condition, no less. I would highly recommend these folks to others.

When The Wire started it was easy to see it as just another cop show, until its overwhelmingly high quality lifted it onto another level. After all, the narrative of Season 1 was simply that of cops versus drug dealers, with some murky political dealings on the side but these were left relatively unexplored. Season 2, however, shows creator David Simon's real plan: he is trying to craft the definitive portrayal of the turn-of-the-century American city. Like a Grand Theft Auto game, progressing onto ...

I've heard people harsh on the second season, but I actually like it better than the first (if only because we aren't force-fed the excruciating D'Angelo loss-of-innocence story). This is The Wire, so social issues are relevant, but by expanding the story and showing how the problems aren't just black people in the ghetto helps give it a much wider feel. It's not just that we get white people and their connection to the drug trade, but that it expands into what used to be the middle class, and the negative ... Read More

I couldn't imagine waiting weeks from beginning to end-no way. S%$t like this gives me faith in humanity-no small task. Genius. So good it's scary. Perfection. My wife wants sex, but I tell her to go to bed alone-I have a show to watch and beers to drink...the Alpha-Male of television IS THE WIRE...
...and how is Omar NOT one of the best characters ever??!!

The Wire Season 2 is a good season with a really good story line. It follows the drug trade and how it impacts the working class - and crosses racial lines to the white working class. David Simon has proclaimed that the intent was to show the degradation of the working class, the impact of gentrification and capitalism, and that the drug trade impacts all classes and all races. While I personally disagree with Simon's interpretation and social-political views, the story line he crafts to tell this tale is amazing ... Read More
