What Is ‘We Own This City’ About?
We Own This City is a crime drama set in the city of Baltimore that chronicles the rise and fall of a police task force. That task force tracks illegal gun traffic, but it is riddled with corruption. Moreover, it’s based upon real events that were summarized by a journalist named Justin Fenton in a book called “We Own This City,” from which the producers took inspiration to name this HBO’s limited series. Moreover, Justin Fenton is a reporter from the newspaper “The Baltimore Sun” who investigated the corruption scandal and then wrote the book.
This is a miniseries consisting of six episodes. And it was developed by The Wire’s creator David Simon in partnership with George Pelecanos. And if you saw The Wire, you might see some familiar faces in this upcoming HBO limited series as well.
