Baltimore Blue Crab

Setting
It's set in Baltimore, so recommended watch with some Baltimore staples. Blue Crab from the Chesapeake and some Natty Boh (one of the last regional beers still existing in the US). If you can't get a Natty Boh, grab any cheap lager.

The Wire is arguably the best all-time show ever made. Some argue Game of Thrones, others argue Breaking Bad, but it’s truly got to be the Wire. Best character development, many unforgettable scenes. Very realistic, where you stop believing these are actors, instead you watch and feel like you’re part of the crew (whichever crew, or each crew). Must watch, no debate.
