The Wire
A detective goes over his bosses' heads to a judge, and the Baltimore police get stuck with a detail nobody upstairs wants. From there, David Simon's five seasons move out from the towers and the Pit to the docks, City Hall, a middle school, and the newsroom at the Sun. This hub is for people who still argue about Stringer and Omar, know what a burner is, and can tell you which season they'd rewatch first.
