Let me be emphatic

Several characters react violently to oppression from others.

This is an eventful episode with some quite unforgettable character moments.

Easily the most compelling involve fairly downtrodden individuals who snap in different ways and circumstances. These incidents are brilliantly portrayed and the aftermath of the more serious of the two is also wonderfully done. That is all I can write without spoiling.

The police investigation of the port and Greek organisation ramps up its intrigue and ends on a good cliffhanger that (when I first saw the show many years ago) made me have to find out what happens next.

As ever with 'The Wire', tragedy can come in the shadow of some great comedy. There are some typically strong moments of humour involving Bunk, Freamon, Fitz, Bodie, Cheese, Daniels, and my personal favourite Brother Mouzone, who has some fantastic dialogue delivered perfectly by Michael Potts.

All actors are on great form, especially James Ransone, who is exceptionally good.

The cinematography and editing is top drawer as ever.

Amazing and brutal in every way

Greetings from Lithuania.

19th episode of The Wire Season 2 called Storm Warning was the one were things have exploted. Story was incredible, storytelling, writing, acting, editing and directing were perfect. It was unexpected in every way, and I loved it. With only two episodes left in superb season 2 I can only guess it will be amazing. At least for me but not for those people living in the world of Wire, which is more close to ours then one might think.

Overall, super season 2 just got its best episode yet, and I truly believe things are going to be even more unpredictable now. Amazing episode in every way possible.
