TheoHuxtable.. Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I finally watched an episode last night. Good show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnomeToys Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Haven't seen it. I kind of lost track of the 9 million cop shows on TV lately, didn't even know this one existed. Let me try to guess the catch of this one real quick from the picture. Rookie cop gets thrown into investigating a string of drug related murders and finds that he has an uncanny ability to sense what happened and catch the "perp" when all others failed.

LEVEL 75 PALADIN Posted May 9, 2009 Author Share Posted May 9, 2009 Naw that's actually completely wrong TC which is why this one rises above the 100s of cop shows at the moment. Yea dude is a rookie, but the focus of the show isn't about forensics like CSI or special abilities and skills (Numbers). So far its about the rookie learning to be a cop and how the job affects the individual officers. It focuses a lot more on the characters themselves than the crimes. Think The Wire, not CSI Miami.

GnomeToys Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Oh good. I was hoping I was wrong but I caught glimpse of too many of the recent cop shows on ABC in case that gives you any idea of where I came up with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvey Wallbanger Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I really liked the premiere, but I've missed the last couple. It definitely stood out from the CSI/Law and Order style dramas though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohnoone Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 i only really like the beat cops storylines. and maybe the two white detectives, that episode that only followed the black detective chick was not as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainbostikuh Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 for sure it is a great show...like dude said, its the closest thing a major network can get to the wire...if you have on demand, get on that shit. the characters are layered well and the plot lines are good, the dark humor is on point. all around good show.

SwampFightOner Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I watched a few episodes and just wasn't feelin it. Maybe I need to give it another shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainbostikuh Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 i caught the first episode by accident. i dont watch much tv. and i was all,"another cop show, cmon." but it was good. saw the 2nd ep and missed a few. i marathoned the rest on demand. all episodes together are good. but i can see how catching only one or two might not impress.
