Hey, my mate has been pressing me to watch this for yonkies, and I've finally downloaded it.
Any Ayonae-reviews before I sit down and watch this sometime over the weekend? Any fans, critics, directors out there?

Never heard of it, but tell us what you think about it so I'll know if it's something I might be interested in :)

I worked on the show for a few days back when I first started - it kicked my ass. But everything is shot on location in Baltimore, opposed to shooting it all in Hollywood soundstage and doing a few days on the streets a year to make it seem like you are in Baltimore. And the creator worked for the Baltimore Sun as a reporter, so he knew his shit - most of it is based loosely on real life. That being said, the 16+ hour days nearly killed me and I was happy to move on when their regular guy got off vacation :) Don't work on the show, just watch it.

I haven't watched it in awhile, but the first few seasons were pretty good.

Only watched a few episodes, due to other stuff being more important to view at that time, but the bit I saw was good and reviews always sounded good too.

Thanks Kelraz, will make sure I don't apply there for work!

Well I'll give it a shot, maybe let you guys know how it works out. Cheers my dears.
