the Corner appreciation... show that gave birth to HBO's The Wire

[smokeurobinson]

as a Black man I still feel some type of way knowing that Ed Burns, a white ex cop, is responsible for putting together both the Wire and The Corner. There's something off about a white cop telling black struggles,especially when that white cop pimps the info for the content from people really in the streets and then turns around and takes all teh credit.

The Wire is better just cuz it was a series that developed a lot of characters and went on for yrs. Corner was just a miniseries. But the acting is superb and the story is real sh1t. I highly recommend it. Sh1t is too sad to look @ it more than once or twice doe. I can look @ every season of the wire till I go to the upper room... Or the basement

Yeah, wire, corner and Homicide:life on the streets have a lot of the same people.

Corner was sad breh. TK was the kindest crackhead. He just couldnt quit that glass d1kk

The Corner was better than the Wire imo..The Wire is all over the place and too much going on, this was clean and simple and hard hitting.
Even how the dad used to be somebody, will he got hooked..sad shyt

I read somewhere all the actors who played fiends or street dudes on the corner, played law enforcement on the wire. If u think about it its true.
Lester plays a cop in the wire
Deandres homie plays the UC that nabs Orlando, season 1
