I have the added personal advantage of living in Maryland (the show is set in Baltimore), and being involved in local politics. So, while all the storylines revolve around real neighborhoods in and around Baltimore, there are also political and social references weaved into the show which are very familiar to me and Mrs Q. We also know a few people who have been involved with or actually on the show itself, adding an extra slice of intrigue. Add in the "fictional" characters who bear a stunning resemblance to real-life people (like the ambitious City Councilman, clearly modeled after curretn Mayor O'Malley) and it's even better.
