One of television's most critically acclaimed programmes, The Wire addresses the seedy side of Baltimore’s finest, looking into money, drugs, politics and murder.

Told from the point of view of both the police and their targets, the series captures a universe of subterfuge and surveillance, where easy distinctions between good and evil, and crime and punishment, are challenged at every turn.

A study on urban life in one of America’s toughest cities, each season of The Wire has focused on a different aspect of Baltimore, starting with the police force and the drug trade, then moving on to City Hall, the education system and concluding with the media.

Comedy starring Matthew Broderick as Cooper, a Chicago-based journalist suffering from post-concussion memory loss who takes leaves from his job and returns to his rural Missouri hometown. There he runs into his recently-divorced high school sweetheart, Charlotte (Virginia Madsen), and, at his mother's request, attempts to persuade his Alzheimer's-impaired Uncle Rollie (Alan Alda) to move into a nursing home.
