This show and Rome seem to get lost in the shuffle when talking about great series.I think it use to come on after Sopranos.But this was my show.I'm about to rewatch it for the 1st time in 14 years.
Who remembers the HBO series The Corner?
- Thread starter Black White Sox Hat
- Start date
I do , it was like a warm up for the Wire, JUST as good imo and it was only 6 episodes long. Great acting great character story lines.
It used a lot of the same people from the Wire as well.
Yeah, I remember that shyt.
Wonder why The Corner is not on HBOGO?

Idk I think it might be licenceing issue, I know for a fact they used to rerun on it on BET a long time ago
The show was very well received got a bunch of emmy nominations I think that's what made them pursue the Wire
Finally got my hands on this. Great precursor to the wire. I found it tough to watch though. So realistic I didn't know this was a scripted show until actors I recognized started showing up. Got 1 episode left to watch. I hope DeAndre doesn't get killed.

Picked it up after I heard it was from the dude that did Wire. Damn good show. shytty DVD packaging though.
rome had very strong lead characters...overall the show was boring imo
the corner was a great show...just “one-dimensional” when you compare it to the wire in that it only focused on “the corner”...which isn’t necessarily a bad thing as I sometimes felt that the wire stretched itself thin @ times (I was often bored w/ the political and judicial aspects of the show even tho I understand why those areas were covered)

I watched this years ago but it's been so long I think I could rewatch it like I'd never seen it.
Might try and find it

The Corner was crack
It set the tone for The Wire also probably the only rare time you'll see the actor Lance Reddikk play a lowlife

I was only 10 when I first seen this show.. All I remember is a boy wit dreads being high off crack and his crack head mama yelling at him pushing him against the wall.. I'mma have to re-watch
Yea, I bailed after the first episode of Rome. I was looking for a show on the Roman Empire because I dont know much about it but I think I'm better off finding a good documentary.
I watched it cuz I needed a “fix” after spartacus ended...someone recommended this show and said it was a more serious depiction of rome...I was able to marathon it since it ended years before spartacus even aired if memory serves me correctly...idk how historically accurate it was/wasn’t but from an entertainment standpoint if left a lot to be desired...wasn’t horrible just a really slow burn...I was invested enough in the 2 main characters to keep watching
