The Wire Season 3

Those are my feelings about the Wire season 3. I wasn't a huge fan of Season 2. It took the characters I new and loved (yo what up String) and put them in the background to dock workers. It was still good, but it wasn't the greatness that season 1 was. 

Season 3, despite taking me longer to watch, was as good if not better than season 1. It takes drugs and adds some political turmoil. Stringer Bell has turned the drug war into a business. Avon, his brotha from anotha motha, may get released from jail. Avon is a little more gangsta than Stringer through and has a different way to run the business. There are turf wars with new character Marlow, who despite looking 15 is actually 22 and a pretty accomplished drug lord. One police man, Bunny, takes cleaning up the West Side into his own hands. One politician, Little Finger, wants to shake things up on the political scene. One group of rag tag cops (same group as before!) are still going after the Avon/Stringer drug crew with some good ol' wire taps. One guy is happy to go to jail just to get away from his crazy girlfriend.

And McNutty and Bunk still get drunk a lot. 

Great season. BUT I'M REALLY ANGRY.
