Posts: 1494 (03/04/09 10:44 PM) Registered user Reply Quote More Recent Posts	Remove this ad Wouldn't usually give a damn about a new generic cop show, but my boy Ben McKenzie (The OC, 88 Minutes) co-stars here, so I am without question going to check it out. I highly doubt it makes it, but you never know. Hope I'm wrong. I believe it starts April 9th. Last Edited By: The SovereignOne 03/19/10 08:50 PM. Edited 1 time.

I am not sure if it was the camera angles or what made this show different... but I thought it was pretty good. I like that it shows all the different areas of the law enforcement. The detectives, the cops in squad cars, down to the vice girls on the street. I'll keep watching.

MIchael Cudlitz (he's done a lot of episodic and I like him) Regina King Tom Everett Scott Good casting. Last Edited By: anders332 04/03/09 09:51 AM. Edited 1 times.

I liked Ben McKenzie is this part. He plays a richie rich 90210 type of boy that becomes a cop and I suppose a man (as the show progresses). Seems like there are a lot of different storylines varying different characters going on at the same time. Kinda reminded me of the movie Crash.

I thought Boomtown was one of the best cop shows ever, the first season in particular. Tom Everett Scott is in it, so I'm 100% sure the show is going to tank. I have seen him in so many showsthat crash and burn just a few episodes in. Maybe he's cursed.

Comparisons to Boomtown (I'm w/Cassidy & Anders) have intrigued me, so I guess I'm going to give it a shot. Which sucks, because I don't want to get hooked on YET ANOTHER great show, only to have NBC cancel it abruptly.

The two hospital scenes with McKenzie worked quite well and you already get the sense that the peeps in charge have a handle on how to carry multiple angles at once. I will no doubt be back next week.
