Ayikho indawo yesikhulumi yochungechunge oluhle kakhulu emlandweni (okungenani kamuva nje, kusukela kulokho okubizwa ngokuthi 'inkathi yethelevishini yegolide') lapho i-'The Wire' (2002) ingavelanga. Umqambi wayo, uDavid Simon, wenze isithombe esihle kakhulu kumasizini amahlanu neziqephu ezingama-60 zokwehla kwedolobha. Isizini ngayinye bekuwungqimba olubolile lwekhekhe osekuvele kunzima ukucwilisa amazinyo kulo: kusukela ekungenzini kahle kwamaphoyisa kwesizini yokuqala kuya ekonakala kwechweba kweyesibili; ezombusazwe kwesesithathu; izinga eliphansi lemfundo kwesesine kanti umshini wokunyathelisa wathengiswa ngesesihlanu. Uphaya uphume uyindilinga, nakuba izithako zaqhubeka nokubola elangeni laseBaltimore.
Manje, uDavid Simon ubuyela kuleyo migwaqo ngokuthi 'Idolobha lingelethu', lapho i-HBOMax iqala ukubonisa isiqephu sayo sokuqala namuhla (isonto ngalinye izoletha esisha, esingafika kweziyisithupha).
Kubonwe encwadini yezintatheli, kulokhu nguJustin Fenton (ku-'The Wire' wayesekelwe kwethi 'Homicide' kanye ne-'The Corner', izindatshana zakhe siqu), ukuze alandise ukukhuphuka nokuwa kophiko lwamaphoyisa oluphezulu oluze ukuzothatha. izidakamizwa emigwaqweni bagcine sebezifaka emaphaketheni abo.

Konke kwenzeke ngo-2015, imigwaqo yedolobha yashiswa uFreddie Gray, insizwa emnyama eshone ngaphansi kwezimo ezingaqondakali esitokisini samaphoyisa. Akusona ukuphela kwesizathu sokunganeliseki komphakathi: ngalowo nyaka kuphela kwaba nezigameko zokubulala ezingama-342 edolobheni elinezakhamuzi ezimbalwa kuneMalaga, 600.000. Kwazalwa kanjalo-ke i-Special Weapons Tracking Force, uphiko lwamaphoyisa olunabasebenzi abangagqokanga yunifomu eyaba i-mafia yangempela. Umgomo wabo kwakuwukuhlanza imigwaqo, kodwa endleleni bafunda ukutshala ubufakazi bamanga, ukugcina imali ekuhlaseleni, nokuncintisana nababi.
Ukuvuka nokuwa kwalezi zigebengu ezigqoke iyunifomu kanye nezigelekeqe ezigqoke umfaniswano yikhona okugqugquzela uDavid Simon (kanye nombhali wakhe wesikrini, uGeorge Pelecanos) ukuthi aphinde akhombise ukuthi akekho onika ukukhanya okunjalo endaweni engaphansi yamadolobha.
Ngoba uSimon noPelecanos bazana kakhulu. Sebevele basebenza ndawonye ku-'The Wire', 'Treme' futhi bahlanganisa 'I-Deuce'. Manje sebebuyile, sebebambisene emhlabeni owaziwa kakhulu ngawo. Ngesikhathi se-2022 Television Critics Association, uPelecanos uthe yena noSimon bajabule ngokubuyela edolobheni esilazi kahle. “Uyayazi indaba kaDavide eBaltimore. Incwadi esekelwe kuyo yabhalwa u-Justin Fenton, intatheli ye-'Baltimore Sun' kanye nomdidiyeli wochungechunge. Besifuna ukubuyela e-Baltimore, lapho sineqembu elikhulu labahlanganyeli. Ukubuya kade ebuya nomndeni. Sithanda ukuletha umsebenzi eBaltimore, okuyi-microcosm enhle yezwe, ngoba ingaba yiliphi idolobha laseMelika, "kusho umlobi nomdidiyeli.
Izinga lenkohlakalo kanye nesihluku samaphoyisa esivezwe ku-'The City Is Ours' sithi 'The Wire' okuthathwe kufinyelele ezingeni le-nth. USimon wachaza ukuthi amaphoyisa abandakanyeka ku-Weapons Tracking Task Force ayengekho ngisho nasesikoleni lapho i-'The Wire' iphela, futhi 'Idolobha Ngelethu' lahlola ukwehluleka okuphelele komnyango wamaphoyisa e-Baltimore ngemuva kwempi yezidakamizwa iminyaka.
"Umnyango waseBaltimore esiwumele ku-'The Wire' ubunezinkinga zawo futhi ubuvele ubambe iqhaza emigomeni eminingi emibi, empeleni ebigxeka iThe Wire," kuchaza uSimon. “Kodwa i-Arms Tracing Task Force idlula kakhulu kulokhu esikubonile, yizinga elibi, likhuluma ngokuthi kunamaphoyisa ayedayisa izidakamizwa emgwaqweni, lokho kwakungenzeki ngo-2007. Hhayi kude,” kuchaza yena. , ekugcineni: "Esizukulwaneni kamuva, Amaphoyisa asebenezinkinga ngokujulile kanye ne-dystopian."
