ʻAʻohe podium o ka moʻolelo maikaʻi loa ma ka mōʻaukala (ma ka liʻiliʻi loa, mai ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo 'golden age of television') kahi i ʻike ʻole ʻia ai 'The Wire' (2002). Ua hana ʻo David Simon i kahi kiʻi nani i nā kau ʻelima a me 60 mau manawa o ka emi ʻana o ke kūlanakauhale. ʻO kēlā me kēia kau he papa popopo o kahi keke i paʻakikī ke hoʻopaʻa i kou mau niho i loko: mai ka hemahema o ka mākaʻi o ka manawa mua a hiki i ka palaho o ke awa i ka lua; kālai'āina i ke kolu; ka maikaʻi ʻole o ka hoʻonaʻauao ma ka hā a me ka paʻi i kūʻai ʻia ma ka ʻelima. Ua puka mai ka pai i ka pōʻai, ʻoiai ua hoʻomau nā mea ʻai i ka pala i ka lā Baltimore.
I kēia manawa, hoʻi ʻo David Simon i kēlā mau alanui me 'No mākou ke kūlanakauhale', kahi i hoʻomaka mua ai ʻo HBOMax i kāna hanana mua i kēia lā (i kēlā me kēia pule e lawe mai i kahi hou, a hiki i ʻeono).
ʻIke ʻia mai nā mea nūpepa, i kēia manawa e Justin Fenton (ma ka 'The Wire' ua hoʻokumu ʻia ʻo ia ma ka 'Homicide' a me 'The Corner', kāna mau moʻolelo ponoʻī), e haʻi i ka piʻi ʻana a me ka hāʻule ʻana o ka pūʻali mākaʻi elite i hele mai e lawe i waho. nā lāʻau lapaʻau mai nā alanui a pau i ka waiho ʻana i loko o kā lākou ʻeke.
ʻO Jon Brenthal ma 'The City is Ours'
hewa me ka hoʻopaʻi ʻole
Ua hele mai ia i ka makahiki 2015, me nā alanui o ke kūlanakauhale i puhi ʻia e Freddie Gray, he kanaka ʻeleʻele ʻōpio i make i nā kūlana pohihihi i ka paʻa ʻana o nā mākaʻi. ʻAʻole ʻo ia wale ke kumu o ka hauʻoli ʻana i ka lehulehu: aia wale nō i kēlā makahiki he 342 mau pepehi kanaka ma ke kūlanakauhale me ka liʻiliʻi o nā kānaka ma mua o Malaga, 600.000. No laila ua hānau ʻia ka Special Weapons Tracking Force, kahi mākaʻi me nā ʻelele lole ʻaʻahu i lilo i mafia maoli. ʻO kā lākou pahuhopu ʻo ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana i nā alanui, akā ma ke ala, ua aʻo lākou i ke kanu ʻana i nā hōʻike wahaheʻe, mālama i ke kālā mai ka hoʻouka ʻana, a me ka hoʻokūkū me ka poʻe ʻino.
ʻO ka piʻi ʻana a me ka hāʻule ʻana o kēia mau mea ʻino ʻaʻahu ʻaʻahu ʻaʻahu a ʻaʻahu hoʻi ka mea hoʻoikaika ma hope o David Simon (me kāna mea kākau kiʻi kiʻi, ʻo George Pelecanos) e hōʻike hou aku ʻaʻohe mea e hāʻawi i ka ʻālohilohi i ka lua o nā kūlanakauhale.
No ka mea, ua ʻike maopopo ʻo Simona lāua ʻo Pelecanos kekahi i kekahi. Ua hana pū lāua ma 'The Wire', 'Treme' a hana pū i 'The Deuce'. I kēia manawa ua hoʻi lākou, ua hui pū lākou i kahi honua i ʻike nui ʻia. I ka wā o ka 2022 Television Critics Association intake panel, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Pelecanos ua hauʻoli ʻo lāua me Simon i ka hoʻi ʻana i kahi kūlanakauhale a mākou i ʻike pono ai. “Ua ʻike ʻoe i ka moʻolelo o David ma Baltimore. ʻO ka puke i hoʻokumu ʻia ai ua kākau ʻia e Justin Fenton, he mea hoʻolaha no ka 'Baltimore Sun' a me ka mea hana pū o ka moʻo. Makemake mākou e hoʻi i Baltimore, kahi i loaʻa iā mākou kahi hui nui o nā mea hana. ʻO ka hoʻi ʻana mai me ka ʻohana. Makemake mākou e lawe i ka hana i Baltimore, kahi microcosm maikaʻi o ka ʻāina, no ka mea hiki ke lilo i kekahi kūlanakauhale ʻAmelika, "wahi a ka mea kākau a me ka mea hana.
ʻO ke kiʻekiʻe o ka palaho a me ka hana hoʻomāinoino a nā mākaʻi i hōʻike ʻia ma 'The City Is Ours' ʻo 'The Wire' i lawe ʻia i ke degere nth. Ua wehewehe ʻo Simon ʻaʻole ʻo nā luna i komo i ka Weapons Tracking Task Force i ke kula i ka wā i pau ai ka 'The Wire', a ua ʻimi ʻo 'The City Is Ours' i ka hāʻule ʻole o ka ʻoihana mākaʻi o Baltimore ma hope o ke kaua ʻana i nā lāʻau lapaʻau.
"ʻO ke keʻena ʻo Baltimore a mākou e hōʻike nei ma ka 'The Wire' ua loaʻa nā pilikia a ua komo mua i nā kulekele maikaʻi ʻole, ʻoiaʻiʻo, koʻikoʻi ʻo The Wire," wehewehe ʻo Simon. "Akā, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka Arms Tracing Task Force ma mua o ka mea a mākou i ʻike ai, he pae ia o ka hōʻino, ua kuhikuhi ʻia i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo aia nā luna i kūʻai aku i nā lāʻau lapaʻau ma ke alanui, ʻaʻole ia i hana ʻia ma 2007. ʻAʻole mamao loa," wehewehe ʻo ia. , No ka pau ʻana: "He hanauna ma hope aku, ua lilo ka mākaʻi i mea ʻino loa a dystopian."
