I really enjoyed this series way back. Part way through I thought that the show had slipped the rails a bit and decided to take a break for a bit. Life as it is I never got around to watching any more. Years passed and I met my wife which for her, this is her favorite show of all time. She told me that I should watch it all and then form an opinion. For Christmas I bought her this set and for a week we sat down watched the whole series (it was Christmas vacation so we had the time) and I got what she was talking about. One of the best written (and smartest) series ever on television.
