Description
Unlike
most
television
crime
dramas,
which
neatly
introduce
and
then
solve
a
case
all
in
the
space
of
one
hour,
THE
WIRE
follows
one
single
drug
and
homicide
investigation
throughout
the
length
of
an
entire
season.
Focused
on
the
drug
culture
of
inner-city
Baltimore,
the
series`
ultra-realistic
storyline
unfolds
from
the
points
of
view
of
the
criminals
lording
the
streets,
the
police
officers
determined
to
bring
them
down,
and
occasionally
the
politicians
who
often
obstruct
the
process.
Created
by
writer
David
Simon
(THE
CORNER,
HOMICIDE:
LIFE
ON
THE
STREET),
THE
WIRE`s
multifaceted
approach
offers
a
profoundly
humane
and
wonderfully
nuanced
view
of
every
aspect
of
the
drug
trade
and
the
complex
morality
of
its
participants.
This
collection
presents
all
five
seasons
of
the
critically
acclaimed
series
that
casts
its
penetrating
gaze
at
the
the
streets,
the
waterfront,
city
hall,
and
beyond.
