Download The Wire Episodes

I have been wondering lately about our eternal fascination with underworld. The movies and TV shows that offer even a glimpse into this unknown world become a hit. How come something which is considered a scourge by the common man in real life, proves to be so engrossing when it comes to fantasy world? Whether it is The Sopranos or The Wire, the tale of underworld mafia never fail to catch the fancy of the populace in a big way.

Realism is a factor that contributed greatly in the success of The Wire. Since the aim was to create truthful characters, most of the minor characters were played by the non-professional actors. The series today stands apart as it showed “faces and voices of the real city” it depicted. Usage of contemporary slang made viewing of The Wire immensely immersive.

In December 2006, The Washington Post carried an article wherein local African-American students confessed that The Wire TV Show had “hit a nerve” with the black community, and that they themselves knew real-life counterparts of many of the characters. The article also regretted the toll drugs and violent behavior was taking on the black community.

Simon, the creator of the show described season 2 as-”meditation on the death of work and the betrayal of the American working class….”

Simon opines that season 3 “reflects on the nature of reform and reformers, and whether there is any possibility that political processes, long calcified, can mitigate against the forces currently arrayed against individuals.”

The season 3 can also be seen as an allegory that draws unequivocal comparison between the War in Iraq and the national drug prohibition. Portrayed by Major Colvin, imparting his views to Carver, Simon made his point that as policing has been allowed to develop into a war, so drug prohibition will never succeed achieving its aims.

The season 4 of The Wire TV Show looks at schools as a porous entity of the society that is affected by problems outside their borders. Education comes not only from schools rather children can be educated by several other ways, including contact with the drug dealers they work for.

Let me first tell you what Don’t Panic is all about. It’s an Experimental Marketing Agency. The agency is hosting a quiz based on the popular HBO Network series ‘The Wire‘. It all is being done to raise funds for anti gang culture charity, Tom’s Trust. Well, I guess your next question would be -what Tom’s Trust is? It’s a charitable trust which aims to deal with and put off the causes of gang culture and street based crimes etc. Their ways to do so include educational programmes and other charitable means.

And, much to fans’ surprise, someone from The Wire is approached by the event managers to make an appearance. Any guesses who he/she would be? I know, all of you would utter the name of your favorite stars of the show.    Well, I am sorry to say but only the dreams of Dominic West’s fans would come true. Yeah, you’ve got the right nerve. It’s Dominic West who would make an appearance at the event scheduled to be held on 30 June 2009 at the popular event space Shoreditch House.

The idea to arrange such an event came to the mind of Joe Wade, director of ‘Don’t Panic’. It seems that the reason behind so is that the drama addressed some issues in line with the targets of Tom’s Trust. Let me also tell you that all the proceeds will go to Tom’s Trust and Don’t Panic is arranging the event just on a pro bono basis.

It’s a common phenomenon that the real-life incidents inspire writers to pen breathtaking stories which might eventually take the form of TV shows.

Okay, not making you more curious let me tell you the details. So, the news is that, in a recent operation the SCOTS cops implemented the same techniques as were used by the professionals in The Wire to successfully arrest more than sixty drug dealers. The information which was garnered during the Operation Focus paved the way to five days of dawn raids. The raids took place in Whitburn, Livingston, Blackburn, Fauldhouse and Armadale etc.

It’s being said that it’s the only operation of its kind, the biggest one till date which was put through by Lothian and Borders Police. Following the very successful techniques, similar to those used by Baltimore detectives in The Wire, drug deals were filmed and incriminatory conversations were recorded by the surveillance officers and all that helped them to apprehend the accused. Who can forget the modus operandi which was implemented in The Wire? Those people used to take help of hidden cameras and wire-tap etc to get the criminals into the trap.

The raids not only helped the cops to arrest 63 drug dealers, but they also found heroin, cocaine, cannabis, amphetamines, diazepam and methadone etc and thousands of Pounds in cash during the raids. The police have not revealed the exact amounts of the recovered items.
