The TVI Take
Emmy winner for Outstanding Miniseries (2000). David Simon's precursor to The Wire, following a year in the life of drug addicts and dealers on a West Baltimore corner.
Exceptional cognitive demands from the uncompromising realism. Exceptional educational value about the war on drugs, addiction, and urban poverty. Essentially a documentary in dramatic form.
