I thought the first season was great! I can't remember if I watched any of the second season or not. I thought the show kinda went down hill and I eventually lost interest. Kinda like the Sopranos.

IMO it went a little soft in Season 2, but picked up in the remaining seasons and finished up all of the story threads started by Season 1.

I could not remember what happened at all - I just remember it kinda got boring. Then I dropped it. Thanks for the info though. Might give it another look later on.

Season 2 was the black sheep of the family, and in fairness, I still enjoyed it. But season 3 goes back to the Stringer Bell/Baltimore drug trade again and it also introduces a more vicious group of dealers who become mainstays. Omar plays a huge role in the rest of the seasons as well.

And its nothing like the fizzle that the Sopranos ended up being. David Simon embraced his work and didn't leave 47 unanswered threads floating around along with one of the worst and anti-climactic endings ever.

That's very reassuring! Good info.
