Avon Barksdale and Stringer Bell regularly use the black power handshake. When McNulty observes, “everything else in this country gets sold without people shooting each other behind it,” the irony is implicit.

In a succession of scenes ironically juxtaposed against each other, the high school’s seminar on a teaching strategy for the test is edited against a police meeting on anti-terrorism.The police are the most sustained presence in the series. The management of the In the newspaper plotline, the conflict is not just about the stories that the reporters get wrong for one reason or another, but about the fact that they fail to get at all the major stories that dominate the drama, things which the viewers but not the reporters understand. Only in the primitive accumulation of the drug economy is violence visible.Even within this process, as the scripts develop it, the characters with more power have an impetus to launder the money, to bring greater order, and to reduce the overt violence, all the more effectively to accumulate further. The figure of Cole as a symbol of policing, albeit a chaotic and contradictory one, is thus established, a perception heightened by Landsman’s observation that he was neither the world’s greatest cop nor its worst.The incongruity of these elements is replicated even more forcefully at the seeming wake held for McNulty when he leaves the police force. He exploits a growing sense of outrage surrounding an apparent spate of homeless murders by organising a candlelight vigil outside city hall. In the only positive words he ever spoke to or about McNulty, Landsman declares that if his own body were found lying dead on the street, there is no one he would rather have standing over him investigating the case than McNulty.Season five takes as its theme the mass media.

The residue of the Civil Rights Movement seems to have left in Baltimore a lack of confidence in collective action, a lack of faith in alternative possibilities.This hollowed out political landscape is very much in keeping with the post–9/11 atmosphere, and direct references to new powers available to police emerge at a crucial moment in ‘The Wire’, showing how the FBI reordered its priorities from drug investigations to the war on terror. For all of his frequent callousness, Stringer believed he could tame the system. Ironically for this uniquely promiscuous and self-destructive detective, the table is positively cluttered with religious kitsch, including votive candles and plaster hands draped with a rosary, alongside the obligatory bottle of Jameson and statue of the Virgin Mary.
About Us. À quand une thèse sur Sophie Davant et Julien Courbet? Made and set in Baltimore, it employed a large ensemble cast playing cops, junkies, dealers, lawyers, judges, dockers, prostitutes, prisoners, teachers, students, politicians, and journalists. More than three decades on the magazine remains committed to reporting on a dynamic global network of underground, alternative and experimental musics by publishing journalism and photography by some of the subculture’s most original and authoritative critics and observers. The story of a homeless Iraq war veteran features in the final season. The verbose and articulate Landsman is momentarily lost for words, but he must ultimately admit to a grudging respect for the “dead” detective, the black sheep. This is worthy of remark, since the writers of ‘The Wire’ wanted to make a companion series titled ‘The Hall’ that would have focused more specifically on the political system.
