What shows are you watching?

Over the past two days I've watched the six-episode series, We Own This City, which is by The Wire's David Simon, and looks at the real-life police corruption of Baltimore's Gun Trace Task Force.

It's not up at The Wire's level, mainly because it is at times a bit too preachy, opting more often than not to tell rather than show. However, the programme does a great job, in the same way as the aforementioned series, in highlighting how fucked Baltimore is as city and how it is let down by both those in power and those with authority.

Jon Bernthal also gives a great central performance.
