The first season is interesting, but it goes downhill after that, and turns into a flat, boring soap opera. Every person who seems to have some kind of decency or morals eventually slides into apathy and sleaziness. It's so upside-down, the brother who is the criminal ends up having more decency than the rest, but by the third season, you don't care anymore.

Needful Things

This show was on air around the same time as the Sopranos I believe that this show would have put the Sopranos To shame I was very sad to see it go away

But definitely NOT worth $80-90 to own all three seasons (in HD)! Just get the blurays from Netflix! 05/14/13.
