Below are some youtube links to David Simon giving a talk on the social and economic issues he sees the Wire addressing and his general take on rising economy inequality in America, the consequences that it reaps. Thought it might be of interest.

Joanna, Ismail, and any other Wire fans on the list, you might also enjoy "The Corner." It is a mini-series based on a book of the same name David Simon wrote that examines the lives of addicts and their close relations caught up in the Baltimore drug trade. A few of these people actually make cameos in The Wire, Brother Muzone's sidekick, the one sent out to buy copies of The Nation and Harper's, is the actual son of the addict the book focuses on.
