One of the most influencial series of the 21. century. In a bid against the flood of glossy proceedings such as CSI and WITHOUT A TRACE, HBO presented 2002 a surprisingly realistic series which achieves nothing less than to give a panoramic view of the US. The first cycle of episodes takes detective McNulty into the battle grounds of Baltimore’s drug war. The main focus here isn’t on the criminal case as such, but on exploring the social structures in which the paths of dealers, cops and politicians cross and are entwined at all levels.
