This is really a two part TV series.. the first three seasons with Green and Norris.. bit.ly/1780gxl .. in the leads, and the second three with Green and Lahbib.. bit.ly/13Pgcqi .. Both are similar, and both are very good. Either of the two excellent actors would have been able to perform equally well for the entire six season run, and many viewers believe that's the way it should have been (Green is tops in all episodes). And yes, as many reviewers commented, the transition from Norris to Lahbib could have, and should have been handled with much greater care (CJ abruptly abandoning him without an explanation to addicted viewers, and heading off to So. Africa was not at all logical to their 'can't do without you' relationship). Simone Lahbib is a favorite UK actor, but if forced to choose in this series, I'd have to go with Green/ Norris. There was just increasingly natural interplay between them that made viewing more diverse and interesting (e.g. watch again the final 5-6 minutes of season 3; episode 4). WITB is a dark, gritty, British crime drama that most all will heartily enjoy.. should you like the genre.
