hank213 1,824 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 So I watched the premiere and it seems like this show could be really interesting. Basic premise: Cop is convicted of murder, spends 12 years in Pelican Bay Correctional Facility (a true gladiator academy), eventually is cleared and wins a huge settlement a part of which is him getting re-instated as a detective. The character is quirky but good. He's got real fascination with zen and a penchant for fresh fruit. A potential downside is if they run the technology has advanced jokes into the ground. It was ok for an episode, and maybe a few sprinkled through the season, but they can't hang the show on that for comic relief.Ever since I saw Band of Brothers I've had a great respect for the abilities of the show's lead: Damian Lewis. His part in this is enough for me to want this show to make it, but I think it could be very interesting how the dual story line (his original case plus whatever case he catches that week) works out.As one reviewer put it on imdb:"...a cop drama that had substance in it. charlie crews stroke me as the DR HOUSE of the cop drama world."

SBriand 4 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 As one reviewer put it on imdb:"...a cop drama that had substance in it. charlie crews stroke me as the DR HOUSE of the cop drama world."Heh, I caught the last few minutes and the preview to the next ep and thought to myself, it's like House but a cop show. I tivo'ed the repeat on USA. Looks interesting and I agree I like the lead. Link to post Share on other sites

Ron_Mexico 4,238 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 because it's a great show and has a hot chick or two, and because Hank123452413's writeup is better than mine. Link to post Share on other sites
