Behind The Wire


Creator David Simon offers some behind-the-scenes insight into making the best show on TV, The Wire. Turns out Baltimore's real life mayor and developers weren't big on the show. Shocker. Simon makes some compelling points on the value of the show, no matter what city it's set in. The fact New York City never seems to have a problem with crime-ridden projects based in the Big Apple, and support from most Baltimoreans — the mayor aside — seal his point.
