"The Wire"

The Wire is the best police drama series ever made, with marvelous acting from Dominic West, John Doman and other great actors it tells the story about the police department and the "Ghetto" in Baltimore, Maryland. The main characters are drug dealers, cops and politicians, and some of them are based on real people from the city of Baltimore.

This masterpiece brings to the small screen the story of the war in the street, the drug world, the bureaucracy of the system, the corruption and the world of politics in one of the most controversial cities of the United States. In the "low rises" of Baltimore, Maryland everything happens. Kids at the age of 10 selling drugs, a mother in drugs raising up a family, addicts who will do anything to get some dope, a world where the life expectancy of the dealers is no higher than 30 years and where murders and crime become part of routine. The Wire also reflects the life inside the police department and the government: Corruption, bureaucracy, ambition, alcohol and Baltimore's Finest.

Cops who don't have anything interesting in their life apart from work and dealers who live every minute of their life surrounded by drugs and violence.

This is the story of Baltimore, Maryland, so I would like to recommend it to everyone who is interested. The best police drama series ever.

Brilliant... I am a big fan of the Wire too. I don't know how much you have seen but I have the first three series on DVD if you want to borrow them.

Like the essay, but it probably needs a couple of more paragraphs for more detail.
