Adam is a wonderful example of how a player should go about his business in the NRL
I would recommend reading Homicide and The Corner first (and in that order), and then watching The Corner. I've always been a "book was better than the movie/tv show" type though.

I still find The Corner especially depressing. All of those kids are now dead or in jail? That poo poo ain't right.

I think Colvin's story specifically is to highlight the idea that you cannot change the institution, however, if you are willing, you can change an individual's life for the better. This actually seems to be a common theme in the show. Take Bubbles' story for example. Or the prostitute, Dee-Dee. And so many other examples.

That's the main conclusion I drew, too. Don't forget Cutty's work with kids once he walked away from the game. And how many lives did Carcetti actually improve, with all of the talk he put up during season 3?
