I always see people saying it’s the worst season and they skip it upon rewatches, even now. I don’t find it boring or slow at all, and in fact I find that it’s more relevant than ever with the death of unions and how it portrays that drug and violence in Baltimore stems from far greater powers than the small-time drug dealers on the streets. Frank Sobotka is also one of the best characters on the show; I still get chills watching the sequence in the penultimate episode where the FBI agent calls the Greek because he saw that Frank was prepared to be an informant, and then you realise that Frank is driving to his death. The fall of Ziggy also seems very realistic (no matter how annoying I found him lol).
I also watched it with my parents who are watching it for the first time, and they said they really liked it and think it was a better story than Season 1.
