Advantages: Fantastic performance, heart moving

Disadvantages: Not enough episodes

Having burnt through all five seasons of the Wire within 6 weeks, I was eager to pick up The Corner, having heard it was of the same quality and by some of the same people. For once, I was not misled by the hype.

While the Wire is a look at the whole of society, The Corner is simply focused on the drug addled souls of Baltimore, looking at their daily struggle and the somewhat hopelessness of their existence.

It is touching and emotional as we follow the footsteps of a married pair of dope fiends, now broken up, and their young son who is trying to find his way in the world.

It features some shocking scenes which really hit home, not least the final episode when we find out what happened to all the characters in this based on a true story mini series.

Check it out, it's one of the best things i've ever seen.

Summary: You need to watch this.
