IMO the greatest show ever made. A show that is even more popular now then when on HBO. Since I am in LEO I can truly say that no other cops and robbers show is more authentic in terms of how it really is in a police Department. The characters and the acting made this show special. The show has launched careers of some great actors. The show tackles real problems in cities and is as relevant today as it was when it went off the air Over 10 years ago. If you ever wanted to know what it’s like to be a cop. This show is the closest it comes to the real thing. 5 seasons of brilliance and that 2nd season just grows on you. I highly recommend to the few who have not enjoyed it.
