Sonja Sohn is (or was?) a regular on "Body of Proof" (2011ish?), in which she plays another cop, but is severely underused. I didn't get too far with it, mostly because of that. I'm not sure if the show is still going or if she's still on it. She totally deserves better!
I like The Wire a lot (though I will probably always love "Homicide: Life on the Street" more -- a number of Wire actors show up there too, though not Sohn (and I have so much annoyancerage at "The Good Wife" for using Wire actors and being SO BAD about race issues)), and agree with the comments re S2 and portrayal of women.
Re accents: It wasn't until subsequent viewings that I could hear Dominic West's English accent show up here and there. I don't think I noticed the same thing with Idris Elba so much. (But then, apparently, I can also hear some (lower mainland Vancouver) Canadian accents that other people can't, so maybe I'm just hearing things.)
