At first glance, it borrows (in some cases shamelessly) elements from "Homicide: Life on the Street" and "NYPD Blue." There is a Pembleton/Bayliss relationship between the veteran cop and the rookie on his first day (reversed races, though) and "the board." The camerawork is more in keeping with the modern Bochco style (and James McDaniel is in the cast). I cannot judge from the pilot whether the chemistry works, but it does have the requisite subtle/dark comedy that I appreciate in a cop show (I liked the tension breaking line, "This used to be a porn shop").
