This is your basic, old school cop show with characters who are either stereotypes or boring or just plain mean - not exactly the kinds of folks I want to watch.
Is it the most original series on TV? Of course not. But if I can invest myself in the characters as much as I have with the Chi Fi gang, I'll be adding another show to my already too-full roster.
From the minute Voight roughs up some drug-dealing punk in the opening frames -- then sends him off with a warning, "Don't ---- with my city" -- you know you're in for a long, wearily familiar ride.
The characters are nice to look at (too nice to be realistic, actually, but oh well), have satisfyingly heroic-yet-complicated backstories, and the action is fast and furious since this show lacks the courtroom aspect of the L&O shows.
Producer/creator Wolf has shown he's still a master at melding ensemble casts, putting them in urgent inner city surroundings and dumping anyone who asks for too much money too fast.
