The definitive oral history of the iconic and beloved TV show The
Wire, as told by the actors, writers, directors, and others
involved in its creation Since its final episode aired 10 years
ago, the acclaimed crime drama The Wire has only become more
popular and influential. The issues it tackled, from the failures
of the drug war and criminal justice system to systemic bias in law
enforcement and other social institutions, have become more urgent
and central to the national conversation. The show's actors, such
as Idris Elba and Dominic West, have gone on to become major stars.
Its creators and writers, including David Simon and Richard Price,
have developed dedicated cult followings of their own. Universities
use the show to teach everything from film theory, to criminal
justice and sociology. Politicians and activists reference it when
discussing policy. When critics compile lists of the Greatest TV
Shows of All Time, The Wire routinely takes the top spot. It is
arguably one of the great works of art America has produced in the
21st century. But while there has been a great deal of critical
analysis of the show and its themes, until now there has never been
a definitive, behind-the-scenes take on how it came to be made.
With unparalleled access to all the key actors and writers involved
in its creation, Jonathan Abrams tells the astonishing, compelling,
and complete account of The Wire, from its inception and creation
through its end and powerful legacy.
