Clandestine global evil
Anybody else watch this?
I've been obsessed with this show for months despite not liking Cop shows as a general rule (the only other one I can think of that I enjoy was Homicide: Life on the Street, and that was by the same guys). It's just so superior in terms of scope, depth and ambition to 99% of TV I can see why reviewers have called it one of the greatest ever TV shows.
It manages to tackle tough issues of urban decay, the decline of the working class, the 'war on drugs', institutional shortcomings and city life without being overly preachy.
The new series looks to be shaping up just as well too
