Season 1 aired in Australia many years ago but on a very late (2-3ish am) timeslot ... i loved it ... my friend last year got into it and has downloaded Season 1-3 for me.

I am very impressed by the realism of the series and the acting, writing, plots ... I must admit that I'm lost most of the time with the gangsta-speak, but never the less a brilliant piece of television (although my favorite remains 'Dexter')

btw ... I was informed that the series creators actually listen and respond to the fans and kept a character alive due to public opinion (think it was the druggy who also sells t-shirts) ... 'Babylon 5' was the only other series I heard that fan input effected the programme.
