This series starts a little slow but quickly becomes riveting, insightful and faced paced. This should be mandatory viewing for all high school students as a deterrence to any type of drug use and it sheds light on the very real human aspect and ripple effect of drug abuse. The legal case is also fascinating, at times quite exciting. I rarely review film and television and I'm more in favour of British and European productions because I find Amercian tv tends to be more superficial and shallow, but this production is worthy of 5 stars, the way the story is intertwined is very clever, the casting - the main characters - brilliant performances, particularly Michael Keaton and the actor that portrays Richard Sakkler. This led me to researching the real story which is currently ongoing. Very entertaining and quality TV.

The early seasons were great but replacing the enigmatic and original Vincent D'onfrio with the one dimensional, boring Chris Noth ruined the later seasons.
