Homidice: Life on the Street
I purchased the first season of this show purely on the strength of The Wire, plus David Simon and the awards that Homicide has won.
While I'll get into it in more detail at a later date I just wanted to express how happy I was to find series 2 + 3 for $60 (total) instead of the $160 I would normally have to pay.
I've only watched the first episode of series 2 so far, but it was a doozy.
