How people can call season 2 the worst is beyond me. It as a perfect commentary on the declining American working class in the wake of laissez-faire capitalism. Frank Sobotka is an amazing character.
The acting throughout is astonishing, even in the minor roles (Method Man as Cheese was the only questionable choice). The writing is also top-notch on nearly every instance. I recommend this to anyone who likes intelligent and thought-provoking drama.

I agree that season 2 was underrated, but I can understand why people hated it when it first aired. It was such a departure from the gritty streets of season 1 after all, and no one was expecting. Having watched it knowing about it in advance, I think I could appreciate it more.
Oh, and season 3's my favorite. The Hamsterdam storyline is just amazing and Bunny Colvin may just be my favorite character on the show.
