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.
