We Own This City

In a war, you count the bodies and call them victories.

Created by George Pelecanos, David Simon

On HBO

A tightly constructed institutional tragedy examining systemic police corruption and moral collapse in Baltimore, built on investigative rigor rather than spectacle.

The story of the rise and fall of the Baltimore Police Department's Gun Trace Task Force — and the corruption and moral collapse that befell an American city in which the policies of drug prohibition and mass arrest were championed at the expense of actual police work.
