YES. It is an excellent show, and is unusual for American hour dramas from that time period in that it has an arc, albeit something of a stealth arc.
My only caution is that it's about, well, homicide, and so contains a lot of disturbing material of an emotionally intense and possibly triggery nature. It's not graphically violent, though. If you're concerned about that, email me with specific flash points and I'll tell you if there's any episodes you might want to skip. I don't want to do that here because it'll probably be spoilery.
Other suggestions would be the first season of Veronica Mars, which is snarky noir with an emphasis on class issues, and others to be named later because a friend came and I have to go get afternoon tea with her.
