The Wire Season 2
David Simon
I mean COME ON. Every character is so richly realized and fully developed. I'm not sure I agree with the flak others feel towards this season, I thought the parallels between the Barksdale organization and the Greeks were deployed with fantastic effect. I might be biased because of my affinity to ships, but I felt that the world of ports and the stevedores' union was incredibly engrossing. The way Simon handles the twin encroachments of gentrification and technological advances on this hallowed subculture is so subtle but amazingly effective. Everything about the show exudes authenticity. This is REAL television.
