The Wire S2 - The Greeks

"Nicky! From the Docks!"

avon and marlo were small dope slingers compared to the greek

I liked all the crime organizations in the Wire expect the Stanfield Organization. Vondas was the best in Season 2.

"the greek" isn't albanian or russian - he's armenian, just listen to the exchange between him and the sailor ( who was turkish ) they killed over the dead prostitutes - he makes subtle references to the centuries-old beef between turks and armenians - "turkish, huh? you got that little hook on your nose. don't worry, patrioti. i got nothing against the turks. that was the old world, this is the new." amazing and enigmatic, none the less.

I didn't like season 2 the first time around, but the second time I did really like it.

I think what turned me off the first time is that season 1 gets you so immersed in the Bell/Barksdale stuff and then in season 2 the show really deviates from that and all of a sudden it's all about these dockworkers, "greeks", & eastsiders that we never even saw in season 1, just kind of disorienting, but after seeing all 5 series, I knew it was all part of the story so I appreciated it a lot more.

I don't know why you got Horse up there. Horse don't know shit. I'll testify to that.

the greek is the most badass character in any tv series

this is our godfather of greek music the one and only Stelios Kazantzidis!

Its business, always business
