I caught a few episodes when they first aired in the UK, but I don't think we got all of them here. I have since found and watched the whole DVD set which I guess is something of a rarity itself now.
I was quite a fan of Leary's 'No Cure For Cancer' stand-up routine before this came out, and this is literally Dennis's on-stage persona from that show, dropped straight into a NYPD cop scenario, and it's every bit as funny as his stand-up show.
The situations that develop around Dennis's character of the self-destructive, hapless Mike McNeil in this show are as side-splittingly hilarious and farcical as they are shockingly dark-humoured. If you like deeply black comedy, and the top-grade situation comedy of classic shows like Fawlty Towers, then you must see this show which perfectly does it all. It's one of the best-kept secrets in TV I know.
