Honestly that's one thing I completely disagree with when it comes to S2.Season 2 was so damn whack.
I didn't care much for any of it. All of it could've been summed up in an episode. No need for an entire season.
I didn't care for the dock workers, the Russians/Greeks/Israelis, or how prop joe's dope was coming in.
You must've watched it wrong
The series is completely incomplete without season 2.
The only thing that came back in to play was The Greek being the main supply and Marlo getting that connect. After S2 was done The Greek or his right hand man isn't caught, they get away fine. Leave town for a while come back a few months later and set up shop somewhere else. To the cops he's in the wind and they forget about him. We learn nothing about him and not much about his right hand. S5 comes in to play it's the same damn **** but this time around the detectives have no clue he's back. They're busy trying to take down Marlo and try to make the best out of nailing Clay Davis and the cluster**** Lester and McNulty created. All we see from S2 in S5 is Nick heckling the mayor, that Russian dude doing his life bid, and a bunch of scenes of Prop Joe dealing with The Greek and then Marlo dealing with both of them. That's it. They don't do anything else. Nothing else from S2 comes back in to play. We don't see Ziggy getting handled in prison. We don't see Nick's situation with his parents or his fan or at work.
Quite frankly they could've wrote it so the Greek left town for good and somebody else fills his void and is the main supply Marlo kills Prop Joe to get to and the season wouldn't have been any different.
And just to be clear again I liked S2 for what it was and what it stood for on it's own. I didn't need to re-watch the series to appreciate it cuz S5 is by far the real blemish of the series.
