Amazon.co.uk Review
Picking up after the dramatic events of its maiden season, the second series of IThe Wire/I achieves something really rather special: it even manages to outclass the first.PFor those fresh to the show, surely the best, most intelligent piece of scripted drama to emerge from America in the last decade, the actual premise is fairly simple. Across the thirteen episodes of its season, it charts one case, and the numerous influences upon it. So it devotes roughly equal time to those committing the crimes as it does to those chasing them.PThis time, the Baltimore Police Department have twin worries. There?s the continuing, festering narrative of events from the season before, along with a new problem when a container of dead bodies turns up at the nearby docks. After initial battles over whose statistics the bodies will be attributed to, a fresh case begins for the embattled officers of the Major Crimes Unit.PYet season two is about much more than the case itself. Bubbling under the surface are characters with real problems, that take their toll on the day-to-day, while at the docks themselves there are union struggles underway, which also have a part to play. Thanks to, frankly, superb scripting, these various narrative threads are woven together quite brilliantly, and the result is perhaps the finest series of IThe Wire/I to date. And that?s no small feat.PIf you?re one of the many who have let IThe Wire/I fly under their radar thus far, then you?re urged to rectify that. Clearly season one is the logical starting point, but begin your adventure in the knowledge that this second series is simple exceptional. For the rest of the US television industry, this is the standard to aim for. --ISimon Brew/I

TV doesn't get any better January 8, 2009
br /The show's themes can be summed up this way:br /Season 1: drug wars, corruptionbr /Season 2: docklands, human traffic, politicsbr /Season 3: drug wars, politics, corruptionbr /Season 4: education system, drug wars, politicsbr /Season 5: media, corruption, media corruption, drug wars, politics#br /br /As you can see, throghout the seasons the show steadily expanded the subject matter it focuses on. However, the quality of the engrossing content never faded. Season 2 is also my favourite in terms of acting. br /br /If you are reading this, chances are you have already seen Season 1. I am pleased to tell you that Season 2 is just as perfect. In this new season, the show's creator David Simon tackles an entirely new problem in Baltimore: crime, corruption and illegal cargo in the Baltimore as well as a broader backdrop of the declining industrial and marine prominence of Baltimore and with it, the fortunes of the city's many dock-workers and long-shoremen (known as 'stevedores'). The show will track McNulty and the team as they turn their attention to a new investigation. br /
Brilliant December 9, 2008
This series is so, so good! I was worried that after really enjoying the first series that this wouldn't be as good but if anything it is better! I think that it is one of the best dramas that I have seen in a long time. It is really gritty without going over top and becoming unrealistic. Excellent.
True Perfection December 8, 2008
Amazing - better than the 1st series. Gritty working life's struggling to make a dollar. A tragic story with complex characters that keeps you guessing. I never wanted it to end.
the wire rocks November 25, 2008
i come accross this series by chance and never looked back,brilliant story line, very entertaining, highly recomended
Can't get better November 23, 2008
I loved the first series and the second kept me equally enthralled - I had to pace myself not to watch too many episodes in one go as you want to know what happens next.br /br /You need to have watched series one first so coming to it new or mid-episde would be impossible - but I think it is the finest Police TV ever.
