As the show shifts to the waterfront, a new cast of characters will appear regularly on THE WIREWho else is looking forward to this other than me? I got caught up in the reruns this past couple of months and firmly believe it is one of the best written, acted, directed shows on TV. But heys its HBO... what else can we expect from them?
So, McNaulty is on a boat. Lester is back in homicide, Avon and De Angelo Barksdale are in jail, and Stringer Bell is running the show.
So far, I have heard this season will introduce the new story line of corruption in the port while also maintaining the thread (or at least part of it) about the Barksdale drug family from last season. Maybe they are intertwined? Anything is possible on this show.
Also, I am going to take the initiative and kick start a discussion on a weekly basis on Sunday night or Monday morning following each dramatic episode.
Sunday night!
