Last night the 6th and final episode came on Hbo Max last and alot of it caught me off guard. Now if you have heard of this case that happened in the city of Baltimore a few years ago then you know the outcome of this grim story. Real life polic going rouge,, stealing, robbing and extorting the residents of the city. Men with badges that were no better then the crooks they were sworn to go after. Even the innocent were not safe from these group of officers. Now I am not going into full details of the story because it’s a lot to take in and honestly it’s a rabbit hole that I have seen too many times and read about.
The man that lead a operation that got him 25 years. There is no secret that Jon Bernthal has become one of the most exciting actors from his roles on “Walking Dead” “The wolf of wall street” and of course “The Punisher” but this role of him playing disgraced Sgt Wayne Jenkins of the Gun Trace Task Force was more up my alley. The wire is my all time favorite show and with the show creators coming back for this mini 6 part series, I knew I was going to watch it. Jon Bernthal did a amazing job, even based off a scumbag person, he nails the role. He’s energetic, intense, and overall just evil in this role.
Overall grade, i give this show a solid A. If you are not use or didnt hear about this case, i suggest you watch this show. 6 1 hour episodes that reveals the truth about what was really going on in the city of Baltimore.
