The Lego video sums up season 2 perfectly.

What's up his ***?

No one likes our season, that's what.

The season had some good moments, but it just doesn't hold up being sandwiched between the 1st and 3rd(which I'm currently watching again for like the 6th time) seasons.

I'll probably order season 2 and three so I can have them for the weekend.

Best advice I can give you is suck it up. Just push through, like when you were a kid and couldn't leave the table till you plate was clean. Grit your teeth and force it down. The payoff is there, if you can make it.

Plus, this show doesn't cop out on being dramatized and instead goes for logical and realistic developments. At the end of the day, though, no other show has Bunk and Greggs.

Exactly. And the subtelty (sp? I hate IE at work). for the most part noone is completely good or bad. Everything is in figurative shades of grey. Everyone has their own motivations and qualities. Whenever I rewatch it I am shocked (still) at how well written the entire series is. I need to get the DVDs back from my friend so I can go through it again!

I really need to watch this again. I watched Season 1 and then half of Season 2, but I got busy and stopped watching it and never continued. I think this will be the next series I buy.

well since you just watched the first 2, then start watching from the 3rd ep. You keep missing the key episode of the whole series to get you hooked. It's not a fluke that most of the people in this thread make this the number one show ever for them.

I'm an HD snob too but I actually prefer it to be like the way it is because it ads to the experience, makes it more gritty.

Oh yeah, the third episode is the one that pulls the hook into the side of your mouth and gets ya.


The debut of Omar is a nice start to the episode, but Lester coming back with that poster of Avon really got me pumped for episode 4.
