Help! Addicted to The Shield! Must Sleep!

Would you, under normal circumstances, find this guy hypnotic?Because we've been watching The Shield on DVD, are well into Season 2, and we just can't stop. We've been up until 1 or 2 am every night watching this thing.I know, I know--it's a bit of a soap opera because it's so dramatic, but the characters are well-drawn, the acting is awesome, the plots are intricate, and the alliances are ever-changing.Loving it.Jeff
