What starts off as solid "gangster" tale just reaches new heights by season 3.
I am thoroughly impressed at progression of everything, from the story to the characters, to the sets, to the dialogue. It ranges from dirty ghettos (yet beautifully done) to lavish palaces. The acting is brilliant from every character, and the direction gets better and better. The circumstances just completely change every season, which keeps things fresh and interesting.
I must say that even though 6 episodes per season is short as it makes the wait till the next season painful, it actually works in favour of the show. This British format allows the 6 episodes to be jam packed with pertinent and juicy content. You never sense that it's dragging because a lot of things happen in every episode, whereas many shows compromise quality by adding unnecessary side characters and side stories to buffer the shows to 10-12 episodes.
