Call it a crisis of leadership.
for the U.S. Fernsehkritker Ken Tucker is The Wire "television's richest, most satisfying experience". Who is the bonus material for the HBO series looks at encounters, again and again on advice from police, prosecutors or FBI agents to confirm how authentic is the show. And for its creator, David Simon and Ed Burns, told The Wire not more than two dozen characters or a specific act but from Baltimore, Maryland. A city that tackles the same time as the urban life, as for many other U.S. cities. In this respect, it seems logical that the third season after the previous year with a focus on the docks again reinforced dedicated to drug trafficking.
The attention of the special unit of Lieutenant Daniels (Lance Reddick) and Detective McNulty (Dominic West) is again moved to the Barksdale drug cartel under the supervision of Stringer Bell (Idris Elba). While Freamon (Clarke Peters) and Prez (Jim True-Frost) try to catch on a stringer voice their wiretapped recordings, it has to deal with growing competition in the form of Corner Marlo Stanfield (Jamie Hector). Meanwhile, the idealistic Councillor Tommy Carcetti (Aidan Gillen), the rising murder rate is a thorn in the side. The same, in turn, that police Major Colvin (Robert Wisdom) on a risky project thinking.

The look of the series makers so traverse from the port of Baltimore and to its dirty business of the City Hall corruption. With Councilman Carcetti is also introduced a character whose actions are motivated primarily by this season, the boredom and meaninglessness of their jobs. As a middle-man Carcetti has only limited influence on Mayor Royce (Glynn Turman), but be even more pronounced on Burrell and his deputy, Colonel Rawls (John Dorman). And if The Wire established something, that shit always rolls downhill. Burrell is a result of the pressure he receives from Carcetti whether the rising homicides in the city, directly next to his subordinates as Colvin.
Colvin in turn is in a position in which is reflected in both Daniels at the start of the second season. He is half a year before his retirement, which explains his willingness not to play by the rules. What recognizes Colvin, is that the war on drugs can not be won. Finally had already Carver (Seth Gilliam) and Herc (Domenick Lombardozzi) is discussed in the pilot episode, that "war" is the wrong term because it follows an end. Because the problem is not the drug dealers, but their customers. And it does not disappear. And what do you do with a war that can not be won? It shifted the battlefield away from home.
is so relatively early in the third season introduced a deserted area, in which Colvin to deport all the dealer tried to free the Corner for the population. It serves as a lure, the promise that the police the drug trade in that quarter, of the dealers around Bodie (JD Williams) misleading "Hamsterdam" to the capital of the Netherlands called, is unable to control. The result is that in the hitherto most successful episode of the entire series, Straight and True , Hamsterdam mutates almost to a drug outlet, in which Colvin men like Carver and Herc are instead intended to prevent that violence incidents and murder comes.
The results show up immediately: the street corners are empty, people can connect in front of her house and also get all his drugs he had been given before that. For outsiders like McNulty, Greggs (Sonja Sohn) and Sydnor (Corey Parker Robinson) does this at first sight, as Colvin would have legalized drugs, but instead he placed it, as formulated in All Due Respect , only in a paper bag. Statistics Department for his works wonders and its decision to relations between police and drug dealers has Hamsterdam a seemingly healthy influence. That this can not be more like a snapshot, Colvin is of course aware.
Another reason why Hamsterdam was quite possible strings is trying all the drug lords of Baltimore as Prop Joe (Robert F. Chew) to a Cooperation to unite. Gang Fights no more because all sell the same product. A plan that rises as much as possible, apart from their worsening between the Beef in Homecoming early discharge Avon (Wood Harris) and the up and up and at the same ruthless Marlo. The third season marked a definitive break in this respect between String and Avon, who had already announced last year. For where Avon continues to prescribe the road ("I want my corners."), Plans to string his ascent environment.
In Hamsterdam he is the first time in the company of Senator Clay Davies (Isiah Whitlock, Jr.) has shown that already in the first season in contact with the Barksdale antitrust standing. At the time string is also shown as a visitor to a macroeconomics course, a field in which he would now penetrate further and insulate themselves from the illegality of the road. This string follows the theme of the Reformation, which devotes itself The Wire the third year. Such also aims to Carcetti, if he harbors hopes for a quiet candidacy as mayor. Reformation and undergoes the newly released Cutty (Chad Coleman), who is no longer able to do dirty work for Avon.
drifts of content, the series then get back to the drug dealers who were in the previous year, a subplot. In contrast succeed it views the new policy direction gene are not as prominent as before the docks in Baltimore. Still can The Wire in its third season on it again define a quality shovel. Are of such additions make it the valuable asset which will play the show more in the coming season. Especially Carcetti is an extremely obscure figure whose motivation varies between selfishness and altruism, and thus invites cautious sympathy. It is different because even with the other newcomers.

first seems Jamie Hector Marlo Stanfield to be a phantom, not even to talk Bodie ready. How has it managed to Marlo to take within two years such a position in Baltimore's West Side, is still open, but he was raised with his two soldier Chris (Gbenga Akinnagbe) and the frightening and yet bizarrely entertaining Snoop (Felicia Pearson) and serious opponent for Avon and its Street Soldier Slim Charles (Anwan Glover) out. The latter role deserves Cutty really well, which, however, begin to turn away from this world that followed the primary audience thanks to Coleman's sympathetic play.
Just as the conflict degenerates with Marlo and the feud with Omar (Michael K. Williams) on the Barksdale-cartel in the course of the season , while Omar also involved in a subplot with Bunk (Wendell Pierce) is. Other popular characters such as Bubbles (Andre Royo) fall this year for something behind. Kima to them also that of the responsibility now to his parent, is one similar to McNulty refuge in alcohol and affairs and also attached a main component of the heels (and Bunk replaced). However, it belongs next to McNulty and Daniels is still the triumvirate of characters, which The Wire a deeper look is to indulge in her private life has.

Although the third season theme again LINKED largely on the first year, has The Wire narrative now and in quality and more convincing, perhaps partly due to the familiarity and identification. One reason might be also that you chose to end the season this time not the same way as in the previous two years. In addition to the perfect result Straight and True remain particularly Middle Ground and Back Burners in memory. And if not already The Wire "television's richest, most satisfying experience," so Ken Tucker is yet to agree: "No other TV project has come close to showing the humanity of both the victims of crime and victimize.
8.5/10
