Have the spelling police not already arrived? Decent - generally accepted standard of respectability Descent - an action of moving downward
Honestly!

`The Shield` is my all time favourite US Series. Just awesome.

It was mentioned above, but 'The Wire' is utterly superb and you've 5 seasons to catch up on. Season 2 was a bit weak, but the others are some of the best TV I've ever watched. The plot revolves around the drug dealers of Baltimore and the police tasked with tracking down and arresting the gang leaders. Its seriously gritty and pretty violent, but also manages to be very funny at times. I can't recommend it highly enough!

Correction, WAS brilliant, after half way through I think series 4 or 5 they changed writers and it went downhill fast
