There is no TV show like HBO's "The Wire". Co-creators David Simon and Ed Burns drew the appropriate backgrounds as a newspaper rapporteur and a murder detective to bring the city of Baltimore into cable television, warts and all. Through the five seasons of the show, The "Theica" has managed to turn what could have been increased by taking a policeman into a deeply felt and nuance of life in America, where the war on drugs turned our streets into a war zone.

Building their success with the dark NBC procedural "murder: life on the streets", the series tried to blur the line between real life and the "wire". They went so far Create characters like Avon Barksdalewho were inspired by the real criminals who manage Baltimore's drug trafficking, and then threw their real -world colleagues in the show. Then there is Felicia "Snoop" Pearson, who went from extra to the full starvet with a character who brought unpolluted authenticity in a series that is already bathing with it.

Many fans now watch the show, swallowing seasons at the same time (what According to David Simonis the best way to watch it), and still remain to want more. What they do not know is that the forgotten ministers "the angle" laid the foundations for the "wire" to take root.

Before Simon and Barnes set their sights to the entire Baltimore, their HBO "corner" mini Through the series "Six episodes", the audience was tuned by 15-year-old Deandre "Black" McCulo (John Nelson) in life as a drug dealer at the corner in western Baltimore, while his mother Deniz Francine Boyd (Candida Alexander) and Father Gary (TC).

Unlike their Pikaresko taking over the "Wiraica", the "corner" focuses on this family as a microcosm of major problems that plague the city of Baltimore. To bring his true story to life, Simon is united with many of his "murder" stars, and the fans of "The Wire" will be seen by many well -known Baltimore people living at this particular angle, though with many different roles.

Actors like Lance Redik, Delani Williams, Reg Katie and Robert F. They chew all the cornerstone of the "wire" and the "corner", they had to stretch their wings in small parts through the miniatures in the roles that were contrary to the parts they inhabited in the larger series. The worst difference between the two parts was found at Clark Peters, who plays the noble detective Leicester Fremon in the "Theica", but here in the "corner" he plays an addict by the name Fat Curt.

These actors provide a sense of continuity between the "angle" and the "wire", with their opposing roles that serve as a reminder of how easy it is for ordinary people to fall into the wicked cycle of poverty. Although not as respected as his spiritual successor, we have never been addicted to the "wire" if HBO does not give us a "corner" taste.
