This was fascinating. I've heard a lot about TSCC and keep meaning to sit down and binge it sometime and this really encourages me to do so.

Thanks! Yeah, it's basically a prestige cable drama on a network and was a few years ahead of its time. Josh Friedman described it as "The Wire with robots" and, at least in the sense of the show's economical approach to storytelling, that's an accurate description. Had it premiered maybe around 2011-12, it would've had a much bigger chance to find longterm success, what with all the streaming benefits offered by Netflix.
