      My brother gave me the first 4 seasons back in 2003. I ordered season 5 because I wanted to see that last drug kingpin who hid all those dead bodies in vacant buildings go down. I watched it over and over. Then I gave it a rest and just yesterday I went back to the first season and as we speak it's on my TV right now. lol
