The Wire

A refreshingly naturalistic approach to the drug drama with genuine performances, rich, believable characters and an interesting plot to boot.

A look at the Baltimore drug trade through the eyes of both drug dealers and police.

Based heavily on real life experiences of a retired detective from the Baltimore police department, and actual gangsters/drug dealers who starred on the show.

Watch it.

I think I've seen it at least ONCE before, but I'm not sure.

It's fucking great, like really, one of the best shows ever made (I hate the second season though)

I'd rate the seasons like this:

Season 1: 7.5/10
Season 2: 1/10
Season 3: 8/10
Season 4: 9/10
Season 5: 6.5/10
