I don't know if any of you guys watch this show, but in my mind it is possibly the best cop show ever made, and definately the best show on T.V at the moment. It's currently in it's third season on Channel 10 at around 10:30pm on a Wednesday, with the fourth showing on Fox I believe, but I don't have Pay T.V so I wouldn't know. You can also get seasons 1&2 on DVD which are well worth picking up if you missed them.
For those you havn't seen the show it is essentially about a cop named Vic Macky and his strike force team in the slumps of LA, and how they go about their daily business. Vic isn't your usual cop as he seems quite corrupt from the outside, which he actually is, but he usually only does those things to make the community a safer place, or at least he thinks that's what he's doing. Of course there are instances where he does things, such as steal a crap load of money from a drug cartel, that cross the moral guidelines.
The characters are fantastic thanks to extremely well written scrips, there are no flashy camera angles or mood lighting that makes it look like the usual hollywood trash, and most importantly each episode has you wanting to see more.
So any of you here watch it?
I might watch it tonight, if I'm up. I love my cop tele shows/movies, but got tired of the Law & Order shit about 3 years ago.
It's a good show but as with all good shows I got screwed trying to watch it on TV missed some episodes didn't catch the beggining of the second series(NO ONE TOLD ME) and stopped watching.

Yeah I know. Channel 10 were screening Season 2 last year at around 12:30 on a Saturday night and it was only by chance that I looked through the TV guide a few weeks ago and saw that Season 3 was starting that week. Shouldn't be too hard to catch up on anyway as they show a pretty good run down of all the events that lead up to the particular episode before it starts.
