The multi award-winning Hill Street Blues is the critically acclaimed story of an overworked, under-staffed police precinct in an anonymous inner city patterned after Chicago. This groundbreaking crime drama from acclaimed producer Steven Bochco follows one of the first truly ensemble casts on TV. The action centres on a chaotic police precinct torn by crime and racial tension providing a realistic view of the private and work lives of everyone from the beat cops to the police captain. In the second season, the relentless barrage of crime continues, beginning when an ex-gang leader returns and reclaims his place at the top of the Black Arrow gang. Hill Street Blues established the fast-paced, gritty, verite style that would spawn countless imitators such as NYPD Blue and L.A. Law. It is quite simply, the most groundbreaking in recent memory and is essential viewing for all lovers of quality entertainment.

Another Excellent Series
This was a ground breaking show in it's day, it is dated in some respects but I love it. Action, humour, personal crisises and just an all round great ... read more »
If the World Wide Web were an actor it would be declared box office poison. Over the years several films have attempted to position themselves as topical and on the pulse by tackling cyber crimes (I'm thinking of The Net, Firewall and Perfect Stranger, for starters), but invariably they're stuck with the visual tedium of a someone sitting at a computer, and long, bewildering technical explanations to explain how it is that the bad guy is avoiding identification. Untraceable suffers from the... Read more
