I just wanted to make a page with links to the Wire. Here's a few:
1. Wikipedia entry on the Wire
2. D.C. lifer George Pelecanos writes about murder, drug feuds, riots, dog-fighting—and also a little violence (Pelecanos is a Wire writer)
3. More with Pelecanos and more about the Wire4. HBO's Official the Wire site
5. Salon primer on the Wire for newbies
6. Baltimore City Paper's review of the 4th season of the Wire
7. Baltimore City Paper's coverage of the Wire as a whole is so awesome, here's a complete list of links via google. I'm sure you can find something good here.
I'll be adding more as I find them.
