The Wire: Port in a Storm (2003)
Season 2, Episode 12
10/10
S2: The Death of the Docks
10 April 2021
This season overall really pleased me and I enjoyed it more than season 1, honestly. I think this season's focus institutionally with the docks and personally with the people affected by the docks is stronger than in S1. I think what amens this show intriguing is that it isn't grabbing your attention like others, it relies on you to pay attention, giving you that beautiful payoff like in last episode's "Bad Dreams," that final shot. And this episode again delivers that amazing payoff. We see the deprecated port industry and we see that again, institutionally, nothing has changed, but personally, the damage has been done. Those final last minutes and final shot really are enthralling for what this season put up.

The Wire S2: 9/10.
