David Simon is coming back for a new show based in Baltimore

Nah you gotta break out of that. Dont pigeonhole yourself.
Plus this based on real people, IDK if they're gonna use real names or not but throwing real people in the wire "universe" aint really the thing to do.
And i love the wire but its over and done and needs to not be touched

fukk that. I want my season 6 focusing on the corrupt prison system and Avon running things inside since the Barksdales got the connect back.

@LauderdaleBoss and anyone else in here. Was it ever revealed what time period The Wire is based on? I'm finally finishing up Season 2 right now.

I think the time period for the show was based on the current time. I don't think it was revealed, but just gonna off the atmosphere and shyt.

Based on current time, one of the hoppers was selling work and called it "WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction) which was the push Pres Bush used to get us over to beging the Iraq War.....

My girl sent me the rumor yesterday. We got so excited we started rewatching the Wire.

man we need something as real and gritty as the wire but in a different city. I’d take Philly, DC, NYC, Chicago...something.

finished the rewatch like 2 weeks ago. Still the goat show. Idk how I rank the seasons tho cuz season 2 was much better this go round.

I've been watching hella Wire videos on YouTube lately

 

[Real]

Not in the mood for any cop shows

 

[Michael's Black Son]

My Bootleg ass Wire alum casting

surely there must be a role in this for Ziggy Sobotka

 

[HollywoodP]

A show about crooked cops is perfect for this time. That group of cops is like "the Fury" in Clockers. This shyt sounds like "The Shield" but in Baltimore.

Who am I kiddin' you had me at David Simon. The Deuce was GREAT. This bout to be good.
