I just finished the Wire a couple of days ago. I have to say, Mr. Simon, it is truly a stunning achievement. I'm actually going to be heading to Baltimore this Saturday with a friend of mine. Thanks for some of the recommendations :)

Sadly, Werner's closed this past spring.

I too was excited to watch Treme. Alas, I couldn't get through it. So preachy and the characters were so meandering.

Fantastic! Love his work. Love the message.

This was produced by VisitBaltimore (then called Baltimore Area Convention and Visitors Assoc.). Some would argue that The Wire is the last thing a tourism group would want to embrace. But they also knew that Baltimore is a real and honest place -- there is so much more depth to Baltimore than the Inner Harbor.

@JohnAndrewFalcon i do consider it to be a "cop show", why? Well basically it's story consist of Detectives trying to struggle in there life and break out of their institution and same goes with the gangsters in the movie.

@smyd23 Fuck you philly 4 life
The Wire shows society as whole, problems and conflicts on every level. Anyone who thinks The Wire is a "cop show" about "the hood" did not understand what it at all.
