Traffik

Traffik was an indie British series that documented drug trafficking in the UK. There are three overlapping storylines throughout the show, which gives the characters depth. The Afghan and Pakistani growers, German dealers, and British users are all expertly connected to each other in ways that none of them ever expect.
