You need to watch The Wire, anyway. It's arguably the best recurring series in the history of TV.
But what's so great about The Wire is how it depicts the inner city and "war on drugs" more realistically and accurately than any show, ever. It takes place from the perspective of the Baltimore police AND those involved in Baltimore's drug trade. As the show progresses, it expands to the justice system, to city-wide politics & how much they interfere with the police dept.'s effectiveness.
And in the fourth season, the Baltimore public school system comes into play.
Seriously, watch the show. It shows what happens when NCLB is forced into practice among the students it's ostensibly supposed to benefit the most.
