Prime members will be able to stream the series exclusively via the Amazon Prime Video app for TVs, connected devices including Fire TV, mobile devices and online at Amazon.co.uk/handofgod. Members can also download the series to mobile devices for offline viewing at no additional cost to their membership. Hand of God will be a global release and available exclusively on Amazon Prime Video for members to watch via the Prime Video app for popular smart TVs, Fire TV, Fire Tablets and Android and iOS phones and tablets. The show will also be available later this year on Amazon.co.uk/PrimeVideo for Prime Video members in more than 200 countries and territories. Created and written by Ben Watkins (Burn Notice), Hand of God returns with Golden Globe winner Ron Perlman (Sons of Anarchy), starring as Judge Pernell Harris. The hard-living, law-bending king of San Vicente, "Judge Maximum" has finally hit bottom as he faces trial for the murder of a cop. While his visions and the ghost of his dead son will slowly lead Pernell through a conspiracy that is bigger than he could have imagined, they will threaten his relationship with his wife and everything he holds dear. This season, Judge Maximum must fight on two fronts—to restore his sanity and gain his freedom. Hand of God also stars Dana Delany (Body of Proof) as the Judge's estranged wife Crystal Harris, who is on a mission to secure her son's legacy, Andre Royo (The Wire) as the gregarious, smart-yet-slick mayor Robert ‘Bobo' Boston, Garret Dillahunt (Justified) as KD, the born-again sociopath whose violent tendencies are exploited by Pernell, Emayatzy Corinealdi (Roots) as Pernell's former call girl and confidante Tessie, Alona Tal (Supernatural) as Pernell's grieving daughter-in-law Jocelyn Harris, Julian Morris (Pretty Little Liars) as the morally questionable preacher Paul Curtis, and Elizabeth McLaughlin (Betrayal) as the preacher's sultry girlfriend, Alicia. This season the all-star cast is joined by Linda Gray (Dallas), Nia Long (The Best Man) and Brian Baumgartner (The Office). Season one has an average customer rating of 4.3. Here's what customers have been saying: "This was fantastic." "This is an intriguing, well thought out, extremely well written and well produced show." "It had me hooked from the first scene."

  • THE WIRE Series Wrap-Up
    THE WIRE Series Wrap-Up Andre Royo, the Character "Bubbles" Interview date: 03 March 2008 Introduction: Welcome to a special series of podcast from the Center for Emerging Media. I'm Marc Steiner. On Sunday March 9th, HBO will air the series finale of the hit television drama The Wire. The show, set in Baltimore Maryland, is an in depth look at the people who live in urban American centers. The show has focused on port workers, politicians, journalists, drug dealers, drug addicts, and more, and presented these people and their struggles in all their honest complexity. The show has become known for its refusal to submit to stereotype. Even the most murderous of characters range from the horrid, to the humble, to the honorable. Some, even admirable. Today we're bringing you our conversation with Andre Royo, the actor who portrayed the character Bubbles. Bubbles was one of the most beloved characters on The Wire. We watched him as he struggled with drug addiction, committing petty crimes and being a police informant in order to fund that addiction. We watched as he struggled with his opposing desires of getting clean and sober and continuing to use drugs. And in the final season, we watched as he began to live a sober life, and his battle to find out what the purpose of his life would be beyond drugs. I spoke with Andre about the experience of portraying such an intense character for so many years, about his future plans, and his thoughts about what The Wire ultimately says to all of us.

The Wire and the Amer- ican Melodrama of Black and White » tiré de l’ouvrage On The Wire de Linda Williams (Durham et Londres, Duke Uni- versity, 2014), pp. 187-209. […] Le mélodrame racial dans The Wire Nous avons vu que The Wire est assurément un mélodrame, et un mélo- drame au sein duquel la race joue un rôle.

De façon plus stimulante, le monde blanc [ndtr]. n’apparaît pas comme insensible à la Couleur. Et l’imaginaire spatial noir n’y est pas présenté comme minoritaire non plus. Comme nous l’avons évoqué, Baltimore est majoritairement peuplé de Noirs, qui ne vivent pas tous dans un ghetto. Ainsi l’affirmation de Lipsitz qui clame que « quelle que soit la mesure ou la noblesse du combat de ses habitants contre les conditions du ghetto, le ghetto demeure l’habitat visiblement naturel des Noirs dans The Wire » ne fait aucun sens – pas davantage que The Wire soit la « création calculée et auto-intéressée de la suprématie 2 George Lipsitz, How Racism Takes blanche » 2.
