Editorial Reviews
Executive producer and creator David Simon explains that Season 3 of The Wire "reflects on the nature of reform and reformers." Specifically, the season's story arc focuses on three of those reformers: Stringer Bell (Idris Elba), who attempts to change the nature of the Barksdale drug business by cooperating with the East Side's Prop Joe (Robert F. Chew) in order to share product, territory, and profits; Major "Bunny" Colvin (Robert Wisdom), who seeks to rid the Western corners of the new Marlo Stanfield (Jamie Hector) drug enterprise by creating a safe zone called "Hamsterdam" in which to sell drugs; and Tommy Carcetti (Aidan Gillen), a mayoral candidate with lots of new ideas for improving the city who faces challenges because he's white and lacks political capital. All three of these storylines converge and wrap around each other as the season goes on, but most alluring for fans is the Barksdale crew's ultimate fall from grace in the city's drug wars. For two seasons on The Wire, best friends Avon Barksdale (Wood Harris) and Stringer Bell held control of the drug trade in the Western. In Season 3, that allegiance is tested in a number of ways, leading to a betrayal so shocking that it's hard to watch the penultimate episode of the season. For a series that never deals in black or white, only in shades of gray, it's the perfect capper to a strong season. Christina Urban, Barnes & Noble
