I'd never even heard of this show before I watched this episode today. I tried to watch with an open mind.
This show has potential but unfortunately much of it is not very realistic and just doesn't ring true. For just one example,people don't generally have long,drawn-out discussions at the scene of major crimes-they get the heck out of there!
Despite it's shortcomings,it is an interesting early cop tv show,and it is worth seeing a few episodes for sure-I plan on seeing several more episodes to get a better perspective. For now,I give it a 7/10 rating which is subject to adjustment as I view more episodes.
