This show is very well done, and I find it to be both intelligent and respectful. It handles some difficult subject matter with finesse, in a mature and matter-of-fact way. The crimes are disturbing, of course, but they are presented with reserve and tact. I also enjoy the truly superb, believable acting. Some of the portrayals of the criminals are particularly good. It is a pleasure to be both entertained and educated without feeling insulted. The audience is as well respected as the characters are, making this an outstanding series. As long as a viewer understands what they are getting into, I highly recommend it.
