I love this show! Primarily due to fact it is so character driven and puts personal and family relationships at the forefront of each episode. This show is not afraid to take risks and take different characters to painful situations like they did with Jim Street and his drug-addicted mother, or take Deacon to risk his own career and morals for money to protect his family - at the end of all those stories is the "we are family" aspect.
To those who criticize the accuracy of the show "they would'nt use that that gun on that situation" etc etc, you are missing the point.
I hope this show is around for a long, long time.
