We Own This City is not the best HBO miniseries of recent times, while at times it also felt more like a documentary rather than a drama series.
Based on the nonfiction book of the same name by Baltimore Sun reporter Justin Fenton. The six hour series premiered on HBO on April 25, concluding late last month. So it just missed my Autumn TV Finales series.
The six episodes detail the rise and fall of the Baltimore Police Department's Gun Trace Task Force & corruption surrounding it.
The story centers on Sergeant Wayne Jenkins, one of eight officers who were convicted on various corruption charges in 2018 and 2019.
Rotten Tomatoes reports the show a success, at 94% approval rating.
Streaming on Binge, We Own This City is a story we have seen before of crooked cops, on the take, abusing their powers.
If you feel like some more true crime, it's six hours of true crime, with a side of corruption.
Until next time!
