Looking for a dark crime drama, preferably cable. I'm just looking for something along those lines with great writing, acting, story, cinematography, and intriguing characters.

Third Watch, absolutely fantastic series and cast. Set in New York. Was on late 90s early 2000. It was probably the only show at the time which aired some episodes featuring the aftermath of 9/11. Some of the cast (Firefighters) were killed that day.
