I looked at the dates of this series and thought it might be too dated. I had been watching recent Law & Order SVU and Major Crimes and found them weak in storylines. The writing are so poor. The Bill is amazing. The storylines are complicated, engaging and the characters are extremely interesting. I wish every episode was available but they're not unfortunately. The characters are so convincing, cops and street people are very real. It's a harsh world and the drug problems reflect the the collapse of family neighbourhoods. The police have such a momentous job to do. Geoff McQueen has created such an excellent show. Vintage tv is where it's at today.
