Just be thankful you're not in Australia: it gets shown at midnight on Thursdays over here, and with the way the commercial networks behave there's no guarantee it's not going to be yanked off mid-season.
Still, best cop show since Homicide: Life on the Street? I think it just might be. If you like it, you should see if you can somehow get hold of an Australian cop show from the early '90s called Phoenix. There were only two seasons, but the show was very similar to the Wire in that each season followed in detail a single investigation, step by step.
