The series is slow to start in season 1...establishing the numerous characters at a slow pace in comparison to other crime dramas. It is not the Shield.
BUT once you get towards the end of season 1 and into season 2, you are invested in this world. The series is about the totality of the series, character arcs, consequences leading into new developments. It is not flash, it is not all bang. When people describe this show like a novel, they are right. I knew this show was considered very good, but I think I greatly underestimated just how well crafted it was.
I am not all the way through...I am about midway through season 4. But the show is thoughtful, sociologically fascinating, and just technically well done. So yes, I recommend it.
