Summary:
This acclaimed, Emmy-winning HBO miniseries about the impact of drugs on an inner-city Baltimore neighborhood came from David Simon, David Mills, and Edward Burns, who would go on to explore similar themes (with many of the same actors) in their even more acclaimed series The Wire. While the latter show concentrates more on both the cops and criminals on either side of the drug war, The Corner places a greater emphasis on those caught in the crossfire, including drug addicts. Charles S. Dutton directs.
