In Minneapolis it'd be called something like Mill City. Here's how I'd see each season:

Season 1: The streets of north Minneapolis. Just like The Wire's season 1.
Season 2: Based around some hipster guy who's a coke and ecstasy dealer who lives in Uptown and isn't violent but supplied by nasty people and ends up a probe target...basically the "hipster season".
Season 3: Corruption in the City Hall and based around a councilman heavily linked to a criminal front business.
Season 4: Actually mostly based in St. Paul this time, maybe more corruption but on the state level. Also heavily based in the Hmong community.
Season 5: The Feds come in investigating a Somali terror cell. Basically a look at the Somali community and African immigrant vs. African-American tensions.

How many Somali terror cells do you think there are in Minneapolis?

Not many. But a few months ago the FBI was investigating financial ties between some Minneapolis Somalis and the group that did the Kenya mall attack. So based on that kind of.
