Beschrijving

In de door drugs geteisterde straten van west Baltimore kom je zowel good guys als bad guys tegen. Maar een politiepenning volstaat soms niet om ze uit elkaar te houden. David Simon, bedenker en co-auteur van The Corner, de met drie Emmy Awards bekroonde miniserie van HBO, slaat opnieuw keihard toe met een onverbloemde, uitermate realistische dramaserie over één welbepaalde drugs- en moordzaak in Baltimore. Het onderzoek mondt uit in een complex kluwen van riskante afluistersessies en suveillancemissies. Omdat het verhaal zowel vanuit het perspectief van de politie als dat van hun doelwitten verteld wordt, roept de serie een wereld op waarin de scheidingslijnen tussen goed en slecht vervagen en waarin de traditionele noties van misdaad en strafmaat bij elke nieuwe plotwending op de proef gesteld worden.
