The Wire
Ernest Dickerson directed episodes across four seasons of David Simon's landmark HBO drama — widely regarded as one of the greatest television series ever made. Set in Baltimore, the show examines the drug trade, the police, the political system, the schools, and the media with unprecedented depth and moral complexity. David Simon praised Dickerson as the show's directorial workhorse who "delivers each time."
