Season Three of The Wire returned to the network of cops and drug dealers who dominated the first season. Idris Elba’s drug kingpin Stringer Bell, one of the most charismatic villains ever, moved to center stage as he tried to get into legitimate business and ran into a buzz saw of truly villainous politicians and real estate moguls.
The dominant storyline in this season was a bold experiment by a soon-to-retire police major: the essential legalization of drugs in one small corner of the city, where the police force agreed to look the other way as long as the dealers steered clear of the rest of town.
