Series 2 of The Wire was criminally underrated imo. I think a big problem was that the team from the first series was split for a large part, and you miss the chemistry they had built up. But in hindsight, and on repeat viewings, its so much better than it ever was on the first watch. Frank Sobotka was a great character.
I'm currently about to start series 4 of The Sopranos, and am halfway through series 1 of The Shield. The Shield has underwhelmed me so far tbh, Vic Mackey just seems to be a meathead who goes around doing what he wants, and they have tried to use his son to make him seem more likeable... but I havent really found myself connecting with any characters yet. I'll keep watching it, I like seeing how they get from point A to point B, I just dont really care for the characters along the way thus far lol
