Years ago, I watched every episode of this series. Recently, I was scrolling through tubi for something to binge watch and thought "What the heck--see if it still interests you." I DON'T know how I ever watched all those episodes back in the day. This surely is NOT one of the best shows ever, as some reviewers would have us believe.
First: What were they thinking with the leading lady and her hair? And her character just grinds on the nerves, alternating between unbelievably sweet and unrepententy stubborn.
Some of the scenarios the cops are put in are very unrealistic. The scripts are meant to tug at the heartstrings more than show cops in their true environment.
The terminology used throughout is strange, e.g., having cops say they will or won't "press" charges. Victims "press" charges; law enforcement "files" charges.
Lastly, this is a series intended to break the commonly-held notions regarding mixed marriage between Catholic and Jew. Don't know how realistic it is, but this is maudlin and out of place.
