The show had been doing "OK" and was building a following. David Milch (NYPD Blue, Deadwood) and Michael Mann (Miami Vice, Heat) are both heavy hitters. Showtime, HBO, etc. are different from network TV, whereas they will give a show a few seasons to build an audience. I think they just wanted to avoid controversy, and I think Dennis Farina's health didn't help much.
