Let's see how many we got returning from The Wire and/or Treme. I know Simon likes to use the same actors, so hopefully this will be pretty good.

The Deuce too, which was pretty damn good.

Looking forward to this though. A Simon and HBO pairing is a must watch.

This is David Simon so it'll be solid at worst, great at best.

But let's not hype this up because its set in Baltimore. People are setting themselves up to be let down speculating on who is gonna be in it or how it could go.
