I just watched Fruitvale Station (about a guy killed by transit police in Oakland a few years ago) and the main character looked really familiar. After getting home and looking him up, turns out it was Wallace (from S1)! Good movie and he does a good job in it.

just finished the first season. I love how serious this show is but something about how the writers constantly remind the viewers that everything sucks got almost repetitive. Plus the dour end to the first season is a bit depressing and the show, in general, hasn't had any big 'holy shit' moments that didn't involve Omar. I've got high hopes for season 2!

Season 2 is usually the one that kicks people off of the show. It's such a change of pace from the 1st season, and if you go in expecting more of the same, you're in for a disappointment.
The biggest thing to keep in mind is that this show isn't JUST about the drug trade in Baltimore. It's a story of the city itself, and drugs just tend to play a big role for a lot of residents.

I love the Wire, but it sure does get repetitive bashing you in the head with "everything sucks".

The aquarium is cool. And some of the Marina's in the Inner Harbor. Also the clam chowder. I dig it.
