This book examines The Wire's authenticity and its establishment of
the series realism. Along with tracing creator David Simon's
onscreen critique of numerous failed American institutions, the
book focuses on the connection between authenticity and realism in
three distinct areas: language, character, and location. While it
is shown that The Wire is indeed authentic, the study examines
occasions where the language, characters, and even the location are
'curated'. Yet, while we can witness these moments of curation, it
is The Wire's unflinching focus on authentic dialogue, authentic
characterisation, and an authentic location that makes the series
the most realistic, and arguably the best, television show of all
time.
