The Wire

The Wire

The wire is a highly realistic American crime drama television series that shows the narcotics scene in Baltimore from the perspectives of law enforcers, drug dealers and drug abusers. Also, throughout its five seasons, the show highlighted the dysfunctional structures in law enforcement, politics, education, labour unions, the media and even drug gangs.

In each case, the series’ sprawling storylines explored how those systems chug along, often serving the interests of the powerful while chewing up ordinary people unlucky enough to get caught in their wake. Furthermore, systemic racism, inept bureaucracy, and the indifference of leaders who are supposed to care about the people wind up strangling America’s urban centres.

Also, the series creator David Simon loosely based The Wire on the experiences of his writing partner, Ed Burns, a former Baltimore police detective and schoolteacher.
