Brilliant But Cancelled: EZ Streets
See the Shows the Networks Cancelled
Critics deemed this gritty urban crime drama as "simply too good for TV," and The New York Times hailed it "one of the season's exciting new series." Journey to the criminal underworld with three fiercely independent men: Jimmy Murtha (Joe Pantoliano, The Sopranos), a charming but ruthless mob boss who rules the E Street gang by whatever means necessary; Detective Cameron Quinn (Ken Olin, thirtysomething), an undercover cop determined to find the truth no matter where it takes him; and ex-con Danny Rooney (Jason Gedrick, Boomtown), a recent parolee who finds himself unwillingly drawn back into a life of crime. As the story unfolds from each of their perspectives, this innovative series from director Paul Haggis (Crash, Million Dollar Baby) proves that on the shadowy streets of compromise there's only one way to survive: trust no one.
This exciting, collectible release features 3 original episodes from the series, including the original 2-hour pilot!

After watching The Wire,and something else by Paul Haggis,I was interested to see this series. For some reason the disk has the pilot and episodes 5 & 6. It's watchable, but after seeing the pilot, I'd got the gist. It moves a lot slower that The Wire and the music is overbearing. Worth seeing, way ahead of its time.
