30 March 2020
Nice and decent series, but not extraordinary, dealing with San Francisco Investigation cops formed by the following ones : Taye Diggs, Kathleen Robertson, Lombardo, Raphael Sbarge and their chief Ian Anthony Dale . All of them put a lot of strain and effort on their jobs. They are diverse detectives who share their passion and commitment to keep the city safe. Along with the prosecution office, formed by Gordon Currie as prosecutor Mario Siletti, Mimi Kirkland , Corey Reynolds as assistant district . A simple killing case is dissected from the committing of the crime through investigation, detention and trial .This is the brighest light cast and the darkest shadows. All lies lead to truth.

Good series in 3 seasons and formed by 32 episodes developing some interesting stories with complex and multi-layered roles .It follows the traditional and functional police procedural in ups and downs. In the first station focuses on a nasty as well as wealthy internet entrepreneur : Tom Felton, as prime suspect of two murders, his father and the flight attendant of the private jet. The following seasons concern several incidents as detective Terry/Diggs kills a fugitive on the run and he is accused, Detective Mulligan/Robertson has cancer and has to cope with the distress, while both of whom fall in love . The main and support cast are pretty good. Stars Taye Diggs as the skillful and obstinate detective Terry English who is married to a dying spouse . And his colleague Kathleen Robertson as Hildy Mulligan , she is a competent police woman, and a single mom with a daughter and who seem to have a lot of problems . They both perform flawlessly and giving compelling interpretations. Other important characters, many of them multi-ethnic roles, are as follows : Currie Graham as a prosecutor who along with his wife, Jamie Lurner, while they're driving, he runs over a pedestrian, being framed for homicide. Veteran and expert police investigators well played by Lombardo Boyar and Raphael Sbarge, and their Inspector Chief played by Ian Anthony Dale who performed this character while shooting Hawaii 5.0 playing Adam. Furthermore, other guest stars such as : Tom Felton, Sara Paxton, Laila Robins, Steven Weber, Richard Schiff, Nicole Ari Parker, Emmanuel Chiriqui, Michael Gaston, Peter Onorati and James Cromwell as the high-prized defense attorney.

Being well created by Eric Lodal and the prestigious creator/producer Steven Bochco. The notorious TV producer and writer Steven Bochco is considered to be one of the best TV showrunners, who has created successful series as LA Law, NY PD Blue, Murder one, MacMillan and wife, Hill Street Blues. And other less successful as Doogie Houser, Gemini man, Cop rock, The name of the game and many others.
