The team behind The Wire is back in Baltimore for a new series about corruption within the Baltimore Police Department. 'We Own This City' premieres on HBO Max on April 25th and is based on the book written by former Baltimore Sun writer Justin Fenton. It chronicles the rise and fall of the corrupt Gun Trace Task Force.
If you haven't read the book it's worth reading for sure. It's fascinating and maddening all at the same time. I highly recommend it.
I'm really excited to see how they bring this story to the screen. Also, the stars of the show are fantastic. You'll even see some familiar faces from The Wire. Take a look at the official trailer below.
