Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Don't Believe the Hype

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Bill Paxton's passing was a shame in more ways than one. He was great on the show and I was enjoying it. I tried to think of someone to replace him and came up with one. After watching Anson Mount in Hell on Wheels I thought there is the man. The ability to fit right in with the whole idea of the show, why oh why did they not go after him?

It seems that 1 star is and overrating for this "TV show". Poor acting(!!!),choice of "not-real-life-like" actors, predictable and really bad script, "cool" dialogues full of forced, memorized cliché phrases...I mean...I am totally bewildered how anyone older than 11 years of age can watch this utter garbage without being intellectually insulted? For the sake of science and due to the fact that I'm an optimist, I forced myself through 3 episodes of THIS. Bill Paxton could not save it. Do yourself a favor and just keep walking - nothing to see here...It is total, indisputable waste of time.

I personally loved this show. I am sorry for the loss Of Bill Paxton. He has always been a great actor.I saw where show would not be renewed due to his passing, I do not think they could find someone else to play the roll of Frank as well as Bill did.This show will truly be missed.

This is an excellent series and very underrated. Bill Paxton is excellent, as usual, but so are the other cast members playing his character Frank Rourke's "crew". What will happen to the series after Bill Paxton's untimely death due to a post-heart surgery stroke is not known at this time. The first season was completed before Mr. Paxton's operation. Since Bill Paxton's less-than-straight and narrow police detective "Frank Rourke" was at the heart and soul of the show, it would be very challenging to continue the series in his absence. Still, for those who haven't seen it, this show is well worth seeing even if it ends after 13 episodes. I've enjoyed every episode, all of which are stand alone, but have a linking arc about the death of Rourke's "trainee", Detective Kyle Craig's (the excellent Justin Cornwell) police officer father and former partner of Frank Rourke. There is also the deepening mystery of their boss, Chief Lockhart (played by the always excellent Marianne Jean-Baptiste), motivations on pursuing Rourke.
