          Currently on my third re watch of The Wire, amazing still.

          Also rewatching Battlestar Galactica, the best pure Sci Fi show ever made.

          I treat TV shows like books, there are certain ones I will revisit time after time.

              I thought Season 3 was better, personally.  All three I've seen so far have been great, just in different ways.

              It's about time I revisited BSG; man, I love that show.

                Yeah 3 is great too. Just something about the story of the docks and the guys there struggling to make a

                2 stand out more, for me anyway.

                I need a new series to watch, watching orange is the new black with the Mrs and it really doesn't do much for me.

                      Season 2 is the best in my view too.Sparrows Point, the enormous steelworks shown on one of the shows is gone, a giant parking lot. ArcelorMittal wanted to buy it but the deal was deemed a monopoly so some shady Russians snapped itup and filed for bankruptcy the whole mess reeks of cronyism and in the meantime 3,000 Steelworkers join their brother Longshoreman on the unemployment line-there's always a job to be had at walmart. The US really pisses me off. Like we're all supposed to have service jobs that pay shit while our masters continue the dismantling of our industrial base. Capitalism as cancer.
                      You might like The Night Of… but since it's a remake of a Brit show you may already have seen it with different accents...

                      Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                      Well, I have others.

                        I think what dropped S2 down a notch for me was that I couldn't muster any sympathy for the longshoremen.  Yeah, they were just trying to survive, (kinda the underlying theme of the entire series, both for the people and for the city as a whole) but they were in a dying trade and they refused to recognize it.  Containerization, mechanization, computerization; they're trends that have been going on for decades, and pining for the good old days won't put food on the table.  Watching them willfully ignore how the world and the profession was changing just made me dislike them.

                        It reminded me of what Red said in Shawshank Redemption- "Either get busy living or get busy dying."  They chose dying, and I just couldn't get down with it.

                          Haha holy cow Chris… I'm glad I didn't have to watch season 2 with you... Of course I had the same rational thoughts, but I chose to sympathise with the fellas instead... That's why it's my favourite season...

                          Well, that and these (NSFW): https://s32.postimg.cc/5g1rlm7r9/vlcsnap_2012_04_04_20h20m03s30a.jpg

                            My post might have come across a little harsher than I intended.  I did empathize for them, it's just that underneath the sympathy for guys watching the world they understood fade away were the feelings I said earlier.

                            And to be clear, I did love that season, just not quite as much as I loved season 3.  Maybe I'll reassess in a few months, after I've finished all five seasons and had some time to digest it (and rewatch a few, or maybe several, episodes).

                                      I'm looking forward to Luke Cage.  And for escapist fun, I'm waiting for the second seasons of Dark Matter and iZombie.

                                        Wasn't the Darth Maul series just an April Fools?
