During its five-season run earlier this decade, HBO’s The Wire became one of the most prolific and important shows to ever appear on television. It told the story of Baltimore street life; each season capturing the essence of a city from a different perspective (the police, the criminals, the educators, etc.).
The stories seemed real, the dialogue was accurate and esoteric (to most), and the writing was world class. It played out like a novel rather than an hour-long drama. And almost nobody watched it!
These were drawn by Blake Hicks as, “an ongoing way for [him] to combat cubicle insanity and keep the loving relationship between [his] pen hand and [his] wacom tablet wide open.” They depict, rather perfectly, some of the key characters of the show.
Add The Wire to your Netflix queue, you won’t be disappointed.
