.terryterrones reviews the Baltimore-set cop drama WeOwnThisCity, which naturally has a lot in common with David Simon's *other* HBO crime drama, The Wire
“He pointed a gun right at me, I had to hit him with a car,” says Wayne Jenkins , an over-the-top and braggadocious police sergeant in HBO’s new limited series, as he tries to explain to a supervising officer why he hit a suspect with his vehicle.
Jenkins’ story, along with the stories of those he works with on the rogue Gun Trace Task Force , is the driving force behind the brilliant—albeit at times meandering—six-episode limited series, which is based on the non-fiction book of the same name by formershowcases not only the corruption within the GTTF, but the tireless work of the FBI agents who broke the real-life scandal in 2017, and the Department of Justice lawyer who tries to repair one of the most corrupt law enforcement agencies...
Erika Jensen and John Sieracki are part of the FBI team slowly unraveling the complexities of the GTTF’s illegalities. It’s through them that most of the legal story inis told. But the moral conscience of the series is Nicole Steele , an attorney assigned to the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice, which is investigating Baltimore policing practices.
