Dark. Violent. Necessary. A wonderfully written and beautifully acted look at America's racist 'war on drugs'. Set in Baltimore, this unsparing view of big city police is tough to watch but rewarding in its insights into the issues of drugs, guns, racism, sexism and misogyny which so profoundly affect the US. One of the more potent series produced in this, the golden age of the TV serial. On a par with Deadwood, The Sopranos, The Wire, Succession, Breaking Bad and a number of other shows which forthrightly show the disappointment and inequity of late stage capitalism as practiced in the US. Highly recommended.
