Quotes
Host: [before every episode Host says] Our goal is just to simply show the world a window as to why people do the thing they do, where that desperation comes from. It's like they say, when the system fails you, create your own system.

Alternative documentary series

I stumbled upon this series and got addicted. Why? Because it shows the criminal underworld from an alternative view point... That of those who have made the choices to do it and what drives them to do so. Michael K is perfect for the program and had a genuine want to help others and a true background from those exact places he's visiting, so it able to connect with them much more than most TV presenters. Having not heard of him before this, I'm sad that his death was so early and that there won't be any more as it was a refreshing series and not like anything I'd seen before. People may say that it makes crime look glamerous, but I think it's very well balanced and I'm a Police Officer! Well worth a watch, especially to honour the work of Michael K.
