How I binged The Wire in 7 days and caught a detail everybody misses

I see people online talking about Season 2 of The Wire like it's the weak link, but I think they're watching it wrong. I did a full rewatch last month and realized the whole dock workers storyline is actually a direct mirror of the drug dealers from Season 1. The show is about institutions failing people, not just cops and criminals. Most folks skip the slow parts or scroll their phones during the political scenes, and then they miss how every season builds on the last. If you haven't watched it all in a week like I did, you lose that connected thread. Has anyone else noticed how the Greek's operation ties back to the Barksdale crew in ways people rarely mention?

The Greek is basically the same kingpin as Avon, just with a passport.
