Or you can rent each disc individually:
I have now completed watching the whole of the first series and coming from a law enforcement background found the storylines quite absorbing. The actors for the main characters have been well chosen John Hannah and John Thompson (Cold Feet Fame) are just two examples.
If you enjoy watching other series like Kavanagh (a more up market barristers chambers based in London) you will also enjoy New Street Law which focuses on a not so well off law pratice based in Manchester. Storylines include both legal and personal, and examines the characteristics of the main players and how they interface with each other in the same law practice and with those from competing law practices.
I eagerly await the next series.
