The is the show that I would *most* love to see again, and especially to own on DVD. Alas, it doesn't look like that will ever happen :(Incredibly cinematic, dark, atmospheric (lots of decay with a hauntingly beautiful Irish-inspired soundtrack) and an amazing cast - including Joey P who can seemingly do *everything* brilliantly.While Paul Haggis would retread some of EZ Street's ground in the also-brilliant Black Donellys in some ways, EZ Streets for me remains his masterpiece. If this is *ever* on TV, on video, on DVD near you, do try and catch it. Heck - record it please, and send it to me, because I would dearly love to see this series again - and I didn't even see all of the episodes either.I came across EZ Streets when Channel 4 in the UK starting airing it at some stupid-o-clock, I think it was about 4am on Friday night/Saturday morning. Having seen the pilot I was hooked, and watched every episode until, as the story was leading somewhere, it was gone, never to be seen again. I still don't know the outcomes and the central plot point resolutions, and possibly never will.This show seems to have really been lost out there, apart from the few episodes available (which, given how good EZS was, is kinda insulting). This show, along with some of the other brilliant-but-cancelled-before-their-time shows *cough*Firefly*cough*, is living proof that quality doesn't win out.Outstanding, haunting, beautiful, ugly, moving - I miss it.

OK, so when this show first aired in 2006, it blew me away harder than a pigeon feather at an airshow.The writing, the acting, the mood created by the amazing cinematography and hypnotic soundtrack (comprised mostly of songs by Canadian artist Loreena McKennitt), everything works so well in this show to create the most amazing television experience ever had. It's better than most movies and the plot lasts for 10 hours! That is, it would have if CBS had actually allowed the show to run its full course!! But low ratings, a bad marketing strategy and short-sighted execs killed it before it had a chance to be recognized (by the public - most critics had already recognized its value, thankfully).So now the first three episodes of EZ Streets is available in the "Brilliant But Cancelled" DVD series, which I just rented and watched and loved just as much as I did 10 years ago. I will buy this DVD and I suggest that everyone else do the same so that one day, with Paul Haggis' growing popularity, someone will bother releasing the ENTIRE series (only 9 episodes - come on, you can do it!). This gem needs to be appreciated for generations to come, as any such admiration would be well deserved.

I know no one visits this page.......but just in case......if one of the finest t.v. series ever made, unaired episodes, the pilot, ANYTHING about this drama becomes available, please email me.......I'd like to talk to the idiots that canceled this show......thanks.......dave

This show was fantastic!It at a similar premise as "Wiseguy" (another of my all-time favorites) but "EZ Streets" was even better. Its cop was much more conflicted, its villains much more complicated, and better writing, acting, and music.When CBS canceled this show I was still bitter. Hell, I STILL am. I refuse to watch CBS except for Letterman to this day. I haven't watched any new shows since the '96-'97 TV season because after having this show, "Realitivity," and "Profit' all taken from me within a year and a half of each other I give up on prime time TV and figure anything I watch and love will just be gone within a year.If you haven't seen "EZ Streets" beg/borrow/steal copies! You will not be disappointed.UPDATED 07/15/2003 Last year HBO began airing a show called "The Wire." Early reviews compared it to "EZ Streets" and it hasn't disappointed.
