I almost did not record this show - I had read three very dismissive reviews. But I decided to give it a try, and wound up watching it last night. I'm glad I did. It is not ground breaking, and derivative not only of NYPD Blue and HLOS, but also more recent shows like Southland and The Unusuals. If you don't like cop shows then you won't like this, but if you do like cop shows this one was pretty good. And what was the last show set in Detroit? -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
