Akukho podium yolona thotho lubalaseleyo embalini (ubuncinci mva nje, ukusuka kwinto ebizwa ngokuba 'yixesha legolide likamabonakude') apho 'Ucingo' (2002) lungakhange luvele. Umyili wayo, uDavid Simon, wenze umfanekiso obalaseleyo ngamaxesha amahlanu kunye neziqendu ezingama-60 zokuwohloka kwesixeko. Ixesha ngalinye lonyaka lalingumaleko obolileyo wekeyiki esele kunzima ukutshonisa amazinyo akho: ukusuka kukungasebenzi kakuhle kwamapolisa kwisizini yokuqala ukuya kurhwaphilizo lwasezibukweni okwesibini; kwezopolitiko kweyesithathu; umgangatho wemfundo ophantsi kwesine kunye noshicilelo oluthengisiweyo lwesihlanu. Iphayi yaphuma ijikeleza, nangona izithako zaqhubeka ukubola kwilanga laseBaltimore.
Ngoku, uDavid Simon ubuyela kwezo zitrato kunye 'Isixeko sesethu', apho i-HBOMax ikhupha isiqendu sayo sokuqala namhlanje (iveki nganye iya kuzisa esitsha, ukuya kuthi ga ezintandathu).
Kubonwa kwizixhobo zobuntatheli, ngeli xesha nguJustin Fenton (kwi-'The Wire' wayesekelwe 'kwi-Homicide' kunye 'neKona', izincoko zakhe), ukubalisa ngokunyuka kunye nokuwa kweyunithi yamapolisa abalaseleyo eze kukhupha. iziyobisi ezitalatweni kwaye baphela bezifaka ezipokothweni zabo.

Konke kwenzeka ngo-2015, kunye nezitrato zesixeko zatshiswa nguFreddie Grey, umfana omnyama owafa kwiimeko ezingaqondakaliyo eluvalelweni lwamapolisa. Ayikuphela kwesizathu sokunganeliseki kwezentlalo: kwakulo nyaka kuphela abantu abangama-342 ababulawa kwisixeko esinabemi abambalwa kuneMalaga, 600.000. Ngaloo ndlela wazalwa uMkhosi oKhethekileyo wokuKhangela iziXhobo, icandelo lamapolisa elinabathunywa abanganxibanga yunifomu eyaba yimafia yokwenene. Injongo yabo yayikukucoca izitrato, kodwa endleleni bafunda ukutyala ubungqina bobuxoki, ukugcina imali ekuhlaselweni, kunye nokukhuphisana nababi.
Ukunyuka nokuwa kwezi ndlavini zinxibe iyunifomu kunye namahlokondiba anxibe iyunifomu yeyona nto iqhuba uDavid Simon (ekunye nombhali wesikrini, uGeorge Pelecanos) ukuba aphinde abonise ukuba akukho mntu unika ukukhanya okunjalo kwindawo ephantsi yezixeko.
Kuba uSimon noPelecanos bazana kakhulu. Besele besebenza kunye kwi-'The Wire', 'Treme' kwaye benze ngokubambisana 'i-Deuce'. Ngoku babuyile, baye basebenzisana kwihlabathi abaziwa kakhulu ngalo. Ngexesha le-2022 ye-Television Critics Association panel, uPelecanos wathi yena noSimon babevuyiswa ukubuyela kwisixeko esisazi kakuhle. Uyalazi ibali likaDavide eBaltimore. Incwadi esekwe kuyo yabhalwa nguJustin Fenton, intatheli ye 'Baltimore Sun' kunye nomvelisi wolu ngcelele. Besifuna ukubuyela eBaltimore, apho sineqela elikhulu labadibanisi. Ukubuya ebebuya nosapho. Sithanda ukuzisa umsebenzi eBaltimore, eyi-microcosm elungileyo yelizwe, kuba inokuba nasiphi na isixeko saseMelika, ”utshilo umbhali kunye nomvelisi.
Inqanaba lorhwaphilizo kunye nenkohlakalo yamapolisa eboniswe 'kwiSixeko Sethu' ngu 'The Wire' ethathiweyo ukuya kwinqanaba lesithathu. USimon ucacisile ukuba amagosa abandakanyekayo kuMsebenzi wokuThwalaza iZikhali ayengekho nakwiziko lemfundo xa 'Ucingo' lwaphelayo, kwaye 'IsiXeko Sethu' sahlola ukusilela ngokupheleleyo komgaqo-nkqubo wesebe lamapolisa aseBaltimore emva kweminyaka yemfazwe kwiziyobisi.
“Isebe laseBaltimore esilimele ku ‘The Wire’ lalinemiba yalo kwaye lalisele lizibandakanye nemigaqo-nkqubo emininzi embi eyayigxeka iThe Wire,” ucacise watsho uSimon. “Kodwa iArms Tracing Task Force iyodlula lee into esiyibonileyo, linqanaba lokhwankqiso, libhekisa kwinto yokuba kukho amagosa athengisa iziyobisi esitalatweni, yayingenzeki loo nto ngo-2007. Hayi kude,” ucacise watsho. , ukugqiba: "Isizukulwana kamva, iPolisa liye lasebenza ngokunzulu kunye ne-dystopian."
