Told from the points of view of both the Baltimore homicide and narcotics detectives and their targets, the series captures a universe in which the national war on drugs has become a permanent, self-sustaining bureaucracy, and distinctions between good and evil are routinely obliterated.

Yeah this show might be unbeatable for me. Like the amount of quality characters and writing this show has is unreal. And season/series 4 has to be one of my favourite things to ever be put to screen, and I know I said six feet under was one of the greatest things to come out of the Home Box Office. But this show is it, i really think this is the best out of every show I’ve seen.
