Summary:
From David Simon, creator and co-writer of HBO's Emmy Award-winning miniseries The Corner, this unvarnished, highly realistic drama series follows a single sprawling drug and murder investigation in Baltimore- one that culminates in a complex series of dangerous wiretaps and surveillance. Told from the points of view of both the police and their targets, the series captures a universe where easy distinctions between good and evil, and crime and punishment, are challenged at every turn.
