Where to watch Trailer

Overview

Told from the points of view of both the Baltimore homicide and narcotics detectives and their targets, the series captures a universe in which the national war on drugs has become a permanent, self-sustaining bureaucracy, and distinctions between good and evil are routinely obliterated.

Roughly 94h to watch every episode. This is an estimate: 60 episodes at the latest episode runtime of 94 minutes.
