The Wire
Listen carefully.
Told from the points of view of both the Baltimore homicide and narcotics detectives and their targets, the series captures a universe in which the national war on drugs has become a permanent, self-sustaining bureaucracy, and distinctions between good and evil are routinely obliterated.
Created by David Simon
Starring Dominic West, Lance Reddick, Sonja Sohn, Wendell Pierce, Michael Kenneth Williams
