On March 9th, one of the best (if not the best) shows on television will air its final episode. “The Wire” is a crime drama created by a former police reporter of The Baltimore Sun, David Simon, and a former Baltimore homicide detective, Ed Burns. The show focuses on the American drug war in Baltimore, Maryland. The very thing that makes “The Wire” great is the same exact thing that pushes what should be a large audience away. Simply put – it’s too real, too brutal and too honest for most to handle.
The cast is made up of lesser-known actors that fit naturally in their roles. Real-life Baltimore figures were cast to provide real Baltimore history, slang and culture. The majority of the episodes are based on real events that took place in Baltimore.
