I applaud the fact that the show has some diversity in its cast, what with women, African-Americans, Latinos, and even a couple of reasonably positive lesbian characters, but for a show set in San Francisco it is completely ridiculous that we never, ever see a gay male character -- not a cop, not a prosecutor, not a defense lawyer, not a suspect, not a witness, nobody, ever, -- stereotypical or non-stereotypical -- throughout three seasons! Are you kidding me?
That being said I found the first season's connected storyline to be very entertaining, with knock-put performances by Tom Felton and James Cromwell. The last two seasons added many more characters, some of which we really didn't need, and many sub-plots, some of which were interesting, making it a more traditional cop show, for better or worse.
Taye Diggs and Kathleen Robertson are okay in the leads, not bad actors, even if they seem a bit like lightweights compared to, say, Mariska Hargitay of Law and Order SVU. Robertson's model-perfect bobbed nose can be a distraction. Rafael Sbarge, Jamie Lumer, and some other cast members make a positive impression. The scripts have their head-scratching moments, but the show is not bad. With only thirty-two episodes you can binge watch it on Hulu in a number of days.
