This show was set in the hey day of gangstes and the show centered on one crime family and the cops that were out to get them. It was really good at first but the writing went down hill and the show faded. Great cast but it should have been a Mini Series or some thing of that nature.

The first season was excellent, one of the best crime dramas television has ever seen. After that it was garbage.

This is easily the best show of all time;I haven't been the same since they took it off the air.Taking this show off the air was as close to perpetuating a tragedy as TV programmers will ever get.

Fabulous show. Dennis Farina was the best. I own all the episodes on VHS and watch them all the time.

no other show looked like, sounded like, and set a mood like crime story did.

One of the greatest shows of all time. If you were going after Ray Luca, you better devote a long time and a high percentage of your day going after the guy. I have 80% of the episodes on tape and won't rest until I have them all. Michael Mann did a terrific job producing this show.....

I liked it, the 60's setting, and the music. The lead cop seemed hard[ a good actor]. I lelt sorry for Pauly. I iwsh the show would have lasted 4-5 more years.

Not bad, but I can see why it only lasted about two years. The problem with this show was plot. The police officer basically spent two years chasing one man. Maybe if they had given him some additional responsibilities, it could have lasted longer.
