Best The Wire Characters, Ranked by IQ Score
David Simon's Baltimore, every character treated as an individual cognition operating inside Baltimore's institutional architecture. Ranked.
The Wire's character density is the show's structural achievement, David Simon's commitment to letting every Baltimore character (cops, dealers, dockworkers, teachers, journalists, politicians) operate with their own cognitive register inside the institutional architecture is the rubric's highest TV-character-cognition achievement.
Anchor picks: Omar Little is the show's most-canonical individual-cognition character. Stringer Bell is the structural inversion, Idris Elba's drug-dealer-applying-business-school principles.
