I get your point about collaborative works, but The Wire, at
least, is a bad example to make your case. From what I know
of the writers of The Wire, Simon, Burns, Pelecanos, Lehane
(and didn't Richard Price also do some work on it?), from
their individual works, interviews and, in a couple of cases,
personal conversations, they are a pretty consistent bunch in
their social assumptions. Of course, that's not too
surprising in a work that consciously set out to address
social assumptions, so the creator, David Simon, hired people
who would fit in with his vision.
