With that said, let's read your thoughts.

Not too fussed about seeing a full-length ep season of this anytime soon but it is good considering the line up we have at the moment it is nice to see something funny and colourful on screen, even if they are short ^^

I saw them once. They were ok.
I think the 3rd and final series was more to my taste because it got a bit more serious which is where Ian and Phil might disagree. The third series started to try and tackle more social issues. I feel that both the first and second series were a bit too long for my taste. The 3rd series was a normal length (24is episodes).
It's a big pity that the series ended without ever resolving anything (that I guess being the nature of the show). I wanted to know who strike man was. I also wanted to know how the relationships turned out even though one of the last episodes of the series dropped an epic hint as to how it would. There was little continuity between series when it came to characters, random characters suddenly being in or not in it. Interesting how Tsujimoto's big relationship that lasted over the first two series just disappeared. I guess the series stayed true to the end in that it finished in exactly the same way it started with you going -_- 'that was random'.

I'm not ashamed to be a little critical of a show that I'm obsessed with. What can I say it's nutters with guns and cars/ bikes, what's not to like?

I'm still finding that one "spark" in this franchise. I dunno why, but I still find it good, but that's it - I definitely don't praise like a lot of other members do. Maybe it's due to lack of watching the proper series themselves, but even the specials come off as good, but nothing noteworthy, kinda like the feeling I've seen all of this before. Strange really, as I tend to have a major soft spot for older-looking shows like this...
