- Depth&Realness
- first I gotta give Charles S Dutton Much props.the Brother truly nailed it here.the Cast of this Show Knocked it out the Box.I can't think of another Mini-Series over the past Decade that has matched this Show in recent time.this Show had me locked in from the first show.truly High Quality of Writing,Acting&Direction.I can't even begin to tell you how sad I was when this Show ended on HBO because it truly captured so much for me&now it's on DVD&Now I can watch it Over&Over again.The Corner is On Point all the way.

- Excellent! It's about time.
- Like others reviewing this film I have been waiting a long time for this to be released and to have it come out on dvd is a real treat.This is the best depiction of in the hood drug addiction I have ever seen.It's real and not commercialized like Hollywood urban films are.It's not about gangs and thugs shooting each other up. It's about going against the odds and making the best out of the life that was given to us.I see this as an important document that makes you think and feel what it is like to be bound by addiction in more ways than one.Masterfully directed, there's something here for everyone to relate to.You don't have to be Black,you don't have to live in the hood, being human is enough to understand everything that goes on in this film.Very entertaining.

- my opinion
- First of all, I am glad that they are bringing this out finally on dvd , with all of the other stuff hbo does coming out it amazes me that this project took so long to come..being that it won so many awards..after seeing the series I felt that this was the most realistic work of art depicting urban life. Growing up in liberty city fl. and having a brother selling then later becoming hooked on drugs, I really felt connected to the characters and knew what they were going through....this dvd is highly recommedable...and should be shown to anyone who thinks that selling and using drugs is just a fad..

- Charles Dutton is so incredibly talented and you get to see how great this man is with this miniseries. I love this series and although I did tape the series, I can't wait to run out and buy it. Yippeee!!

- This will leave you emotionally drained and speechless.
- I accidently turned to this miniseries while channel surfing and was immediately hooked on this riveting insight of the effects of drug abuse on not only the addict but the family as well the neighborhood. I watched the miniseries time and time again most recently with my son and nephew they were shocked what a small amount of dope could do to a person and the people who surround them. It provides the viewer with not only what we see or read about in the evening news, but a first hand look of the people involved. You really run the gambit of emotions in viewing this miniseries from despair to pride and then hope. This should be required viewing for schoolage children to show what "alittle dab will do"! Too bad the actors and the series did not receive the accolades that they deserve. Brillant piece of work.
