The Job: The Complete Series

Critically lauded and loyally followed, this gritty, short-lived series stars the acerbic Denis Leary as Mike McNeil, a New York cop with a taste for booze, pills and women. When he's not trying to keep his personal life from coming unglued, McNeil devotes himself to "the job," scorning conventional crime-solving methods for a surprisingly effective offbeat approach. A hilarious ensemble cast and smart writing complement Leary's edgy centerpiece.
