This is what's really interesting to me -- the path the characters took.  Part of what made it such a great show.  Carver was an asshole initially.  Then he got serious, got responsible, etc.  Prez was in deeply over his head as a street cop, and tried to be macho to compensate.  But he reached levels where he could shine, first working with Lester and then as a teacher.
And so on, and so on.
