The Wire

description

Creator and writer of The Wire TV show, David Simon (Homicide: Life on the Streets) knows about crime dramas after spending twelve years as a reporter at the Baltimore Sun's City Desk. His writing is honest and penetrating as he searches out the dark and seamy side of life that is part of any old and large city lifestyle. The Wire ran for sixty episodes and spanned five seasons with top acting, writing, producing, and high ratings all the while. Episodes covered a wide variety of occurrences and facets of Baltimore including the city's illegal drug trade, corruption in city government, the system within a seaport town, news in print media, and school system issues. The Wire is a crime drama all about a typical large American city and how we each cope with events that make up our lives. Demonstrating how life can be complicated no matter if you are a cop, a lawyer, a judge, a politician, or a low life drug dealer, and how the many institutions involved in our livelihood affect each and every one of us. Cops get the bad guys and the lawyers and judges just turn around and set them free.

Undoubtfully, cinematography has been my passion since a very young age. Even now, watching a new movie or series always prompts me to ask a lot of questions to the author. Thus, every little essay about a title is definitely not a spoiler, but rather an attempt to explore the idea.
