The Wire is a crime drama series set in Baltimore, Maryland, created and written mostly by David Simon, a former police reporter.

At face value, The Wire is about the drug scene, the economy of the drug trade, the business, the environment, and the efforts of a city like Baltimore to police drugs. Factors like race and systemic discrimination are also explored, with each season of the show primarily tackling different institutions to showcase the interconnectivity of such establishments, such as the Baltimore port authorities, the educational system, the city bureaucracy, and journalism.

One of the more memorable characters of The Wire, something of a fanfavourite, is the cold, calm, grim reaperlike figure of Chris Partlow. Chris is the primary enforcer of the Stanfield organisation, led by the force of nature Marlo Stanfield, who eats up the Barksdale territories after Avon Barksdale is sent to prison at the end of season 3.
