Summary: The Corner
Comment: Gritty, harrowing, human.
We bought it because we loved The Wire, and found it as compelling, although it is not as complex as that show, it's scope is as you would expect is restricted to life on "The Corner" and the light and shade which is part of the Wire is not as evident.

Summary: Brillant mini series
Comment: In one word The Corner =brillance. Charles S.Dutton displays masterful storytelling in the stories of crack addicts. Sean Nelson contunies to show his dramatic range as an actor and he has a carrer ahead of him. But the acting standouts are Khandi Alexander & T.K. Carter as the parents of Nelson's character.
