I know its not really sci-fi ish or fantasy but have you given any thought to the HBO series "the wire"(its a Police based series)
I first heard about here
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055069225and really really enjoyed it, its a bit of slow burner but well made, well acted and produced, I would highly recommend it, after that i would recommend the walking :)
some comments on the series
The Wire, a drama so rich in character and nuance, and so powerful in its anger and painful with its humour that it has been compared to the darkest classics of literature. It is no coincidence that some of America's most accomplished novelists (such as George Pelecanos, Dennis Lehane and Richard Price) have written for its first four seasons. Nor was it a surprise when the New York Times wrote: "If Charles Dickens were alive today, he would watch The Wire, unless, that is, he was already writing for it." The difference in The Wire however, is that there is no kindly old gentleman to set things right.
