A good episode. Things are still moving quite slowly I feel, and honestly this case doesn't have the same hook the season 1 case had in my opinion. The Greeks are intriguing but Frank, Ziggy and the rest of the Union really aren't all that interesting to me at this point. Stringer is a great character but hasn't really had all that much to do at this point, especially with the reduced focus on the Barksdale crew. I don't have all that much to say about this episode, just that it's almost halfway through the season now and I'm thinking it probably won't match season 1. It's still good but just not as good
