This is such a good show! I’d forgotten how dark and ethereal, yet raw, this series can be. It’s really quite beautifully done, but I don’t think the world was quite ready for it in the late 90’s. Go back and watch it again – you won’t regret it.

This is one of those books that manages to make the everyday extraordinary. The writing is solid, and Conlon does a good job of avoiding over- or under-glorifying the job. It’s a good read – I’d recommend it.
