The
Wire
Complete
Seasons
1 to
5
DVD Boxset |
|
|
|
Unlike
most
television
crime
dramas,
which
neatly
introduce
and then
solve a
case all
in the
space of
one
hour,
HBO's
THE WIRE
follows
one
single
drug and
homicide
investigation
throughout
the
length
of an
entire
season.
Centered
on 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. |

The
Shield
Complete
Seasons
1 to
6 DVD Boxset |
|
|
The
Shield
breaks
the
conventional
formula
of the
cop
genre.
It plays
out in a
tough,
morally
ambiguous
world in
which
the line
between
good and
bad is
crossed
ever
day. The
series
focuses
on the
tension
between
a group
of
corrupt
but
effective
cops and
a
captain
torn
between
bringing
them
down and
advancing
his own
political
ambitions.
The
Shield
stars
Michael
Chiklis
(The
Commish)
as rogue
cop "Det.
Vic
Mackey,"
leader
of the
elite
Strike
Team
unit,
who is
effective
at
eliminating
crime
but who
operates
under
his own
set of
rules.
Benito
Martinez
(Outbreak
& Her
Costly
Affair)
plays
"Captain
David
Aceveda,"
the
young
precinct
head who
doesn't
like
Mackey's
tactics
and
wants to
bust him
off the
force.
And the
Emmy-nominated
CCH
Pounder
(ER &
Boycott),
plays "Det.
Claudette
Wyms," a
veteran
detective
who
understands
Mackey
and
knows
how to
play
both
sides of
the
fence.
The show
made
history
by
becoming
the
first
ad-supported
cable
series
to win
the 2003
Golden
Globe
Award
for Best
Drama
Series.
In its
first
season,
Shawn
Ryan
(Writing)
and
Clark
Johnson
(Directing)
received
Emmy
nominations,
which
were
also
firsts
for
basic
cable in
those
categories.
The
Shield
has
received
two TCA
nominations
for
Outstanding
Achievement
in
Drama.
As of
March
2005,
the show
has
become
the
longest
running
series
on the
FX
Network.
