The Wire
Meta-Crime Drama HBO Show [2008-2012]
❝ This series looks at the narcotics scene in Baltimore through the eyes of law enforcers as well as the drug dealers and users. Other facets of the city that are explored in the series are the government and bureaucracy, schools and the news media. The show was created by former police reporter David Simon, who also wrote many of the episodes. ❞ [Google]
❝ The Wire is an American crime drama television series set and produced in Baltimore, Maryland. Created and primarily written by author and former police reporter David Simon, the series was broadcast by the cable network HBO in the United States. The Wire premiered on June 2, 2002, and ended on March 9, 2008, comprising 60 episodes over five seasons.Each season of The Wire introduces a different institution in the city of Baltimore and its relationship to law enforcement, while retaining characters and advancing storylines from previous seasons. The five subjects are, in chronological order: the illegal drug trade, the seaport system, the city government and bureaucracy, education and schools, and the print news media. The large cast consists mainly of actors who are little known for their other roles, as well as numerous real-life Baltimore and Maryland figures in guest and recurring roles. Simon has said that despite its framing as a crime drama, the show is “really about the American city, and about how we live together. It’s about how institutions have an effect on individuals. Whether one is a cop, a longshoreman, a drug dealer, a politician, a judge or a lawyer, all are ultimately compromised and must contend with whatever institution to which they are committed.”
The Wire is lauded for its literary themes, its uncommonly accurate exploration of society and politics, and its realistic portrayal of urban life. While during its original run the series received only average ratings and never won any major television awards, it is now regarded by many critics as one of the greatest television shows of all time. ❞ [Wikipedia]

“The first comprehensive look at the dance music revolution Can You Feel It – How Dance Music Conquered The World is a three-part series produced for BBC Four in the UK and international sales through Eagle Rock. Each episode takes an in-depth look at one of the three pillars of a scene that, over the last thirty years, has gone from underground movement to global phenomenon. We tell the story of the origins and development of the music itself, how clubs became the most important cultural entertainment spaces of our era and finally the extraordinary rise of the DJ from awkward sideman to the world’s biggest music stars. Our cast list boasts a defining list of dance’s pioneers, innovators and biggest stars alongside a killer soundtrack. As Marshall Jefferson says, “You gotta have house music all night long”.”

I love this show because the Jesus character is very realistic, like this is what Jesus would be like in modern society. He’s homeless & his nemesis is the landlord of the apartment complex where his homies live, where he often hangs out. They start a community garden & the landlord asshole tries to use the police to get it shut down. Lots of hilarious situations ensue. Enjoy! ♥Neonn

Hightown
Anti-War on Drugs Crime Drama Series [2020-present]
I absolutely love this show. After watching the trailer, I expected it to be some basic Drug War propaganda about how good innocent people’s lives inevitably get destroyed & ended early whenever they get involved with drugs, but I decided to watch it anyways because it looked like potentially quality content (& I am a propaganda analyst, after all). The series opens with a cold-blooded murder, which seems to confirm my suspicion. But as the 8-episode first season unfolds, it becomes increasingly clear that the narcotics detective is the villain of the show, rather than the hero, and that the drug users and the gangsters who supply them are merely victims of a brutal inhuman system of tyranny called drug prohibition.
As with almost every brilliant radical film & TV show, the industry stooges who professionally write reviews all seem to have hated it. That’s how you know a piece of cinema is truly revolutionary & contrary to the official narrative of social control they want us to consume. Anti-War on Drugs propaganda is very rare in this country, so that’s all the reason we must cherish it when it does manage to get made. Please watch this show!

This show is amazing because the whole story is organized around a class beef between rich & poor teenagers on an island in North Carolina, where a corrupt rich family is trying to steal a lost treasure that rightfully belonged to a poor family many generations ago, and the legacy of past injustices reverberates thru the contemporary teens’ quest to find the treasure. All the characters are great & the drama is profound. Brilliant show! ♥Neonn
