Series 2 is one of the best in my opinion. Set on the waterfront, this series focuses on how the gangs use shipping to Baltimore to smuggle drugs and commit other illegal activity. The series focuses on the Waterfront union, and how after years of recession and hard times the union leaders have become wedded to the gangs. In this series you really get to see how the city’s economic infrastructure has collapsed, and how in this vacuum crime thrives.
