I generally detest crime dramas, so that a show like this can be my all-time favorite TV serial attests to the high caliber and quality of writing, cast, characters, authenticity and everything else that goes into creating such a show. Why can't all film/TV be this good? Hollywood take note: you don't need a-list stars to make a blockbuster film, that formula is so overdone. Every character in this series is outstanding and authentic and etched in my memory. I would even venture to say that several of the best characters ever seen on film or t.v. played a role in this show. I want to thank EVERYONE who played a part in the creation and broadcasting of such an excellent series. "
