The Wire
2002EnglishUnited States
The Wire presents Baltimore through the perspectives of homicide and narcotics detectives and the people they target. Its central conflict is the national war on drugs, portrayed as a permanent bureaucracy that sustains itself over time. As investigators and targets occupy the same troubled system, the usual boundaries between good and evil repeatedly disappear, shaping a crime drama without a simple moral divide.
