Unlike certain reviewers, I appreciate the back story on Detective Demery. This show is about what made him the detective he became. Part of that is his background. His passion for justice and his compassion for the victims families are some of the qualities that make him and this show great. John Nicholson, the actor that portrays Detective Demery, is so well cast. Many times I have forgotten he was the actor and not Demery! I hope this show is renewed because this has become my favorite show on ID channel.
