I'm afraid that the only change they're going to get is becoming more like Detroit.

It reminds me too much of the old show, The Wire...

I've never been to Baltimore, but I can imagine that the show was too close to the truth for many.

I've never been to Baltimore and do not intend to visit Chicago or San Francisco ever again.

I think of it as my LITTLE PART of "Making America Great Again"  ;D

The main writer cut his teeth as a Baltimore crime reporter for many years. I think one of the others may have been on Balitmore PD. Some of the characters literally answered casting calls off the street.

I haven't watched the show myself, but I'm going to guess you're right.

Amazing, I didn't know any of that.


>I haven't watched the show myself,

For me it's one of the greatest TV shows I've ever seen. A lot of it is dated now, but as a show, still great. I re watched it all about a year ago in a huge binge, doing all the seasons in about 2 weeks.
