Variety

“Everyone involved with this project is genuinely grateful to HBO for the chance to take the narrative where it needs to go,” said co-creator David Simon in a statement. “We knew the theme and purpose of the story, but there are many people in the entertainment industry who might not have it told, or worse, would have told it for the wrong reasons. HBO is a serious outfit. And they don’t scare.”
