The critically acclaimed HBO series [the wire] has given a multiplatform launch to three filmed shorts that explore the backstories of some its characters.
The three "prequels," produced by "Wire" creator David Simon, already have launched on Amazon.com -- not on its Unbox service, but as a free stream available on the page for the DVD set "The Wire: The Complete Fourth Season."
Two of the shorts are devoted to the characters Prop Joe and Omar, depicting them as children who show flashes of their adult personality traits. A third short features William "Bunk" Moreland (Wendell Pierce) and Jimmy McNulty (Dominic West) in McNulty's first day on the job.
