"    It comes as no surprise that a new David Simon project comes with plenty of hype.  While it had its apologists, his first series following The Wire&amp;#039;s completion back in 2008\u00A0\u2013 New Orleans-set drama Treme\u00A0(2010-2013) \u2013 didn&amp;#039;t set the television world alight, but one glance at his next project and it becomes immediately clear we&amp;#039;re back in the realm of his Baltimore classic.\u00A0  Teaming with Paul Haggis \u2013 screenwriter of Oscar-winner Crash \u2013 the six-part miniseries follows Nick Wasicsko, a real-life former mayor of Yonkers, New York.\u00A0  The wider plot, taken from Lisa Belkin&amp;#039;s nonfiction book of the same name, focuses on a federal court&amp;#039;s demand to build public housing units within the city&amp;#039;s wealthier neighbourhoods, an order that threatens to tear the city \u2013 and Wasicsko \u2013 apart.  If you&amp;#039;re not yet convinced, allow the cast list to seal the deal: Oscar Isaac \u2013 ahead of a lead role in new Star Wars film The Force Awakens \u2013 will take on the role of Nick, while Winona Ryder, Alfred Molina, Catherine Keener and Clarke Peters \u2013 The Wire&amp;#039;s Lester Freamon\u00A0\u2013 are all set to appear.
