Best U.S. show at the moment IMO. Americas answer to The Thick of It.

Recently got the DVDs of this and going through them slowly. What a great show with interesting characters. Washington and J.D. , Hill and Renko, Howard the right wing trigger happy leader of the armed response team. Capt Furrilo and Joyce Davenport. Not forgetting Belcker and Henry Goldbloom...

Watching this series is like looking into the mind of Spike Milligan. Funny, outrageous and a bit troubling at the same time.

A Dalek in a turban! " Put in the curry"
