The DVDs unlike streaming came with the writers or author's commentary on the episodes. So this is a meta that contains my thoughts on the episode, along with my perspective on David Simon's DVD commentary.

Summary
In the Wire - we have a sociological study that reminds me a great deal of the sorts of studies that Kozol may have conducted back in 1991, where an ex-cop, a couple of teachers, and a sociologist select ten kids from the school, ten trouble-makers, and discuss with them their issues and what they want to be when they grow up. All of these kids are making money as junior drug dealers on corners.
They are corner kids, working the corner. They are in some cases the bread winners. All have dreams of a better life, but many don't see themselves living past the age of 18 if that. The Wire casts real inner city kids in these roles and to a degree just lets them rip. The effect is a type of scripted social realism that borders on documentary but isn't.- Language:
