Created and primarily written by author and former journalist David Simon, The Wire, or Disturbed In French, debuted on HBO in 2002.
Set in Baltimore, the show is a detailed social epic that begins with the police’s efforts to dismantle a drug ring. However, each season changes the angle, introducing different institutions of the city and their relationship with law enforcement, maintaining its iconic characters and continuing its intrigue – genius.
Drugs, the port system, city government and bureaucracy, education, schools and the press: these are all topics that the series tackles during its five fascinating seasons, brought to you today on Blu-ray box. Set, ready to drink!
Hailed for its literary themes, unusually incisive examination of society and politics, and realistic portrayal of city life, The Wire was critically acclaimed during its initial run. One that never won a major award is still widely recognized today as one of the best series of all time, quite easily.
