I'm a big fan of this show, and have the DVDs far S1-S3. I've seen all the episodes through last weeks. This is apparently the final season, and it will be a long one (21 episodes). Anyone else like this show? How do you think it will end?

Some darn good actors in there (a few hacks). I just wish Vic and the rest of the team were honest cops. ...
Last weeks episode was one of the best IMHO, although I've only seen about 1/2 of the ones that they have aired.

I wonder if Vic and crew are going down since this is the last season or if they will retire on the money train score. Other fav's are 24 and Rescue Me. The promo's for FX's new series "Thief" looks like it could be good also. At least I'm hoping it is.

Part of the reason they don't draw a larger audience is the R-rated content that requires that time slot. Which makes no sense to me when you got all these ***** shows that my 13 year old can watch at 7pm. Our morals as a nation are out the door IMO.

It would be a shame if this is the last season.
Tooner said:I keep waiting for Vic to get a hold of the photo(s) that the gang banger took of Acevada while Acevada was uh... giving him a ...uh, oh well I can't think of a way to describe here, (but you fans know) and using it to black mail Acevada. Or did he get them and just give them back to Acevada already? Hard to remember, alot goes on in that show.
Silviron said:Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about Tavon and who he was.
I kind of liked the character too, but didn't really expect him to last long.
Anybody else totally detest Aceveda? IMHO he has absolutely no redeeming qualities.
