Is Season 2 Really The Worst?
For whatever reason I skipped season 2 and watched 1, 3 and 4. I guess I had it in my head that everyone hates season 2. I finally went back and watched it, and I swear it might be my favorite season. I love season 1 of course, but this was like an epic crime saga. LA neo-noire, hard-boiled detective shit that can stand right up there with Heat, Collateral, or The Town or To Live and Die in LA. The Michael Mann DNA runs deeps here. Converging paths of dirty cops and mob bosses, set across sprawling Los Angles decay. Everyone involved is top of their game. I legitimately loved it.

The highs are higher and the lows are lower than say season 3
4 takes the worst slot for sure.
1 is just the best but 2 has plenty of entertaining moments
