https://twitter.com/kchenoweth/status/966808187109339136 i am incredibly excited for this. Trial and Error had a great first season and instead of trying to do Lithgow's schtick with another comedic actor, going full Grey Gardens with television's pre-eminent suburban cougar who can belt if necessary is gonna be great.

Oh wow, I didn't realize the Stringer Bell/Barksdale/Omar story continued into S2 of The Wire. When I read the Wiki article that said each season deals with another element of Baltimore crime, I didn't realize there'd be carryover and figured it'd end there with D'Angelo and Avon going to prison. I'm glad there's more of these characters.

Episode 1 involves the one younger drug runner whose name escapes me but kinda looks like D'Angelo Barksdale going to Philadelphia to transport product back to Baltimore; Stringer had him tailed.

The Barksdale organization's story continues as a prominent subplot of Season 2 and they follow those characters to their natural conclusion. You get payoff with them. The show is very good about never really fully abandoning characters. You don't necessarily get a full ending on everyone because life goes on, but no one ever truly gets forgotten. Its basically a lot of what the Wire is loved for. Fully living characters that they don't just write off. Its just that each season's primary focus shifts and no one was really prepared for that in Season 2. And the jump from the Barksdales to the Pier was so pronounced that it really caught a lot of people off guard and threw a lot of people who was really investing in the one kind of show/characters.

I maintain that Season 2 is one of the show's best. The Sobotkas are such well realised characters and the plight of the dock workers is so cutting and tragic all at the same time. I just imagine how they would be doing in 2018 and you know the situation would be even worse.

I'm really due for a Wire rewatch, it's been years since I've seen it.

Never liked the dock workers because the characters didn't leave a big impact for the rest of the series. The writers forgot about the working class the same way America did.

Wire S2 is probably my #2 favorite as well, but it took until the second watch for me to get there. Honestly, thinking about it The Wire just belonged to a different era of TV Watching before streaming and before even DVRs (Wikipedia tells me Tivo came around in '99 a couple of years before The Wire in '02 but at least I didn't get a DVR till later and most people I knew didn't). Hell it was a time at the very start of the "prestige TV" wave or reliable TV off of the Networks. It was a VERY difficult show to get into at the time because of all the dialect and world immersion as well as the pacing. I liked it, but I didn't fully love it or even really understand it until I watched an HBO marathon late into the season (at least as I remember it). Then when S2 came around it was this shock to be through into a whole new world with whole new characters and back to the week-by-week viewing. I actually think I gave up on it until another marathon before S3. I knew a lot of people who did. Watching now not only do you have the benefit of the binge process that lets you fully immerse but you also go in knowing the show's reputation so knowing its worth the dive in. Back then it was just the new cop show from the guy who made Homicide on the network that made Sopranos and was in S2 of Six Feet Under. And the Shield was over on FX being like the exact opposite kind of cop show all fast paced and action. STAC Goat fucked around with this message at 08:45 on Feb 23, 2018 |

They had a trailer set up across the street from Charlotte Motor Speedway for the 2002 Coke 600 which had Tivo demonstrators, which was the first time I saw Tivo/DVR. I was able to keep up with the Indy 500 using it and it was the greatest drat thing I'd ever seen.

Yeah, I can still remember the first time I went to a friend's house who had a Tivo and was just in awe of what it could do. No VHS's, no TV Guides, a way to catch things in games you just missed, a way to follow serial shows even if you couldn't be there to watch or record it every week. That had to be well after 2002. It was a different world.

Even though I'm a current TiVo owner, I will forever be bitter at them for suing ReplayTV out of existence. The commerical skip on my 2001 era box is still superior to what my Bolt can do today.
