The MeansThe Means is a dramatic thriller television pilot that chronicles both sides of the law in New York City, where the rent is high and so is the cost of living. But for one rag-tag band of thieves, crime pays. Dealing with themes of nature versus nurture, learning to shed societal expectations, and the perils of navigating a fractured justice system, this show will balance the gritty authenticity of The Wire, with the no-holds-barred thrill seeking approach of TNT’s Animal Kingdom. The crime is slick and adrenaline-inducing, the consequences harsh and austere.
