Wire DVD- The Complete Second Season
The most unvarnished, uncompromising and realistic police drama ever returns for another hard hitting season. McNolty has been demoted to harbor patrol, Daniels is in the police archive dungeon, Prez is chafing in the suburbs and Gregs is stuck behind a desk. Meanwhile, on the docks of the Baltimore harbor, the rank and file scrounge for work and the union bosses take illegitimate measures to reinvigorate business,
but a horrific discovery is about to blow the whole port inside out. While the detail is on ice, a new case begins.
Wire DVD- The Complete First Season
Unlike most television crime dramas, which neatly introduce and then solve a case all in the space of one hour, HBO's foray into the genre follows
one single drug and homicide investigation throughout the length of an entire season. Centered around the drug culture of inner-city Baltimore,
the series' storyline unfolds from the points of view of both the criminals lording the streets and the police officers determined to bring them down.
This first season introduces detective Jimmy McNulty (Dominic West) and his supervisor Cedric Daniels (Lance Reddick) as they begin to pursue evidence
against drug kingpin Avon Barksdale (Wood Harris). Meanwhile, Barksdale and his henchmen Stringer (Idris Elba) and Wee-Bey (Hassan Johnson) concern themselves with a rival drug dealer (Michael K. Williams) who's been cutting into their profits. Created by writer David Simon (The Corner, Homicide: Life on the Street), The Wire's multifaceted approach offers a nuanced overview of every aspect of the drug trade and the complex morality of its participants.
