Welcome to the Weekend Binge. Every Friday, we’ll suggest a binge-able title designed to keep you from getting too stir crazy.
Check back throughout the weekend for even more gloriously queer entertainment.By now, The Wire, the crime drama series created by David Simon which spent its five-season run gobbling up awards, is well known in the entertainment zeitgeist.
The show follows the ongoing conflict between the Baltimore Police Department and the fictional Barkside drug syndicate, and how the lives of cops, drug runners and the city’s residents intersect, and very often, violently collide.
A talented cast that includes Idris Elba, Dominic West, Frankie Faison, Leo Fitzpatrick and a baby-faced Michael B. Jordan brings the predictable.
