- Television series (2002-2008). 5 seasons. 60 episodes. Series that follows over several seasons the investigation of drugs and murders in the city of Baltimore, especially that of a group of police officers against a network of drug traffickers led by Avon Barksdale in the troubled neighborhood of West Baltimore.
