@shuabert Fair enough, they didn't pull any punches with his story, I'm just ready, after 3 seasons, for a change up. I think it'll be fun to see the new dynamics.

@dan1 I didn't get bored of his story. As someone who's had addiction in the family I found that story really true to life.

Still believe the highlight of season 3 was the first episode, with them using the squad car as a shield and getting into that street shoot out. Visceral, man.

@shuabert I can't wait to see Ben paired up with Mr. Vengeance cop lol. That is gonna be explosive and highly entertaining. Much more so than his pill popping supervisor, who's story got boring after a while. Hope we see more of Lydia and Chickie, too.

Very nice. I didn't need any more reasons to check out season 4 when it starts up, but I'll definitely take this.
