The Wire might be the single greatest TV series ever made. David Simon turned his years of experience as a police reporter in Baltimore into the quintessential study of crime and corruption in the American city. The Wire blew every other cop show out of the water with a fiercely realistic portrayal of police procedures, and searing social commentary highlighting the reasoning behind every cruel institutional problem in American society: self-serving politicians, underfunded public schools, untrustworthy news media, the list goes on.
