All I really know is it's widely praised and it's a cop drama. And now I know Idris Elba is in it.

I tried about a year ago, couldn't get through the first 2 or so episodes. I hear the show takes a few episodes before it really hits it's stride. I've been meaning to give it another go as sometimes it takes me multiple times to get into a show(watched GoT first episode 4 times before finally giving it a chance) Try again. And REALLY pay attention. Its not a show to put on casually, as weird as that sounds. --- !!!!!!!!! https://imgur.com/DzJSPWA ... Copied to Clipboard!

As far as crime dramas go I like The Shield better overall, but

Right now it's on Hulu as a free thing for the virus called HBO Unlocked, first 5 seasons, not sure if that's all they made or not. A couple other series are free on there too like Trublood

It's more than a cop drama. It's a deep dive into the corruption that pervades society. And it's real af. That little girl that I thought was a guy is incarcerated 20 minutes from my house.

Well first episode was pretty great, a lot going on, good story and surprised by the bit of humor.It gets so much better. Much, much better. If you don't know, it's written by a guy who worked for the Baltimore Sun and spent like a year or more with the BPD. A lot of the characters are based on real people he worked with, and many of the actors they wind up introducing are people that were pulled from the streets. And it's just an entirely accurate portrayal in virtually every way - you can still visit most of the places in the show. They recreated the Baltimore Sun news room in some place in Columbia, MD, too. it's just so friggin' surreal. --- FFXIV: Lucius Hexenseele (Brynhildr) | RS3: UltimaSuende . 99 WC/Fish/Cook/Fletch/Div/Mining/Smithing/Thieving/Crafting https://letterboxd.com/BMovieBro/ ...

Midway through season 1 now, very diverse show, I bet it was pretty progressive 18 years ago when it started.
I might have the first season done by tomorrow at this rate, I haven't checked to see how many episodes. --- Ten million dollars on a losing campaign, Twenty million starving and writhing in pain. Vicious_Dios Original - https://i.imgtc.ws/Zl0aw6F.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's a slow burn for sure, I kinda wish there was a bit more happening but at the same time, the story, and the characters really makes up for it.

I keep hearing season 2 is different, what am I in for? Is it bad? Without spoiling if possible. Season 2 follows the shipping channel and deals with human trafficking. The first time I saw it, I wasnt a fan of season 2 at all. Once I rewatched it, I actually thought it was the 2nd strongest season. Season 2 is slower than season 1. Just a warning.
