    anyone ever watch this ?

    detectives vs drug dealers drama type show - its on every Monday TG4 around 11, another HBO programme of great quality

    theres a couple of actors from Oz in it aswell and some of the people involved in Homicide :Life On The Street are involved in the making of the show

    give it a watch if you like Oz/Homicide/The Beat/The Shield you're probably gonna like this

    Watched it tonight.Probably a great show if you caught it from the beginning.Been looking at episode guides and it has been about the same cops chasing down one drug dealing gang since the first episode so no wonder some of it seemed a bit confusing.

    And talk about being typecast.Kenny from Oz played another violent bandanna wearing drug dealer in The Wire.Its even looks exactly like the same one he had in Oz:D They could have maybe intertwined that he was released from Oz,had he not
    been shot dead by the dude that Adebisi gave the gun to in an episode not yet shown on the TG4 repeats.But then again in all the time I have watched it I only remember two people getting released alive,and one of them quickly ended up back in jail
    I also saw the Jamaican undercover cop from Oz in it

    Shame I didnt catch this from the beginning,hopefully it will get a repeat showing.Or maybe E4 will take it on,though thats doubtful seeing as most of it is now taken up by Big Brother:(

    I've been watching most of this series.Its a great show and they're making a second series.Really did deserve a bigger audience than tg4 at 11 on a monday evening.
