Watched season 2 episode 2. back on board. it was just...better? a lot more potential for the season, more clear, more interesting. That first episode had some awkward bad acting moments (the fat guy joking around with McNulty then getting all dramatic "...THAT'S SOMETHING YOU NEVER FIGURED OUT." ... that was...really bad.) Anyway, that Ziggy douchebag was barely in episode 2, and it just felt better. So yeah I'm more excited about the season.
I have one potential criticism though, and feel free to ease my mind about this: I'm not sure why we're still following the drugdealers from season 1, aside from catching up with their story. Because season 1 was all about the back and forth between both sides of the investigation. But in season 2 so far, they're just there, and there's nothing at all to do with them in the main story on the cops side. Am I missing something? It doesn't seem as eloquently told as season 1.
