Season 3
Back to excellence. After a bit of a drop-off in season 2, we jump right back into excellent story-telling. I realized during this season that what I particularly about this series is the same think I like about epic fantasy books: multiple storylines that interweave. In this season, we have the newly formed Major Case unit, we have Herc & Carver as detectives in the Western District, we have councilman Carcetti and all the political side, we have Barksdale & Bell on the gangster side, Cutter as a rehabilitated gangster and of course Omar. Each of these storylines carries through on its own, with occasional connections to the others. We are reminded as a viewer from time to time that the characters don't know as much as we do. And we are also forced to think as a citizen about what solutions there are to drug problems in this country and we are faced with the reality of addition on a few different levels. This is great writing and great acting. Love this.
