Thank Jesus for The Wire
The one written by a crime historian, with help from a retired homicide detective
Go figure it paints the most realistic picture
Didn't that show get only like one or two seasons?
5, and they only intended 5 to tell the whole story they had
And Homicide. When I started watching it, I was surprised when some episodes ended but the investigation didn't lead to anything and the cops didn't really care.
In The Wire, I really liked when the cop found out the code used by dealers. He started saying "Those kids didn't go to school so the code should be simple..."
Believe it or not, also Copaganda
Oh, it walks a line for sure.

I really recommend the whole series. It explains the origins of cop shows and their use as copaganda, as well as analyzing everything from Marvel movies to Paw Patrol in their depiction of law enforcement.
