Training Day (2017)
5/10
uphill battle
17 May 2017
Kyle Craig (Justin Cornwell) is haunted by his LAPD detective father's mysterious killing. Deputy Chief Joy Lockhart promotes him to detective to investigate rogue cop Det. Frank Rourke (Bill Paxton) who was Kyle's father's partner. He is assigned as Frank's new trainee. The team includes Rebecca Lee and Tommy Campbell. Hollywood madam Holly Butler (Julie Benz) is Frank's romantic partner and confidential informant.

This is adapted from the movie but fails to bring the intensity. Nobody can replicate Denzel. This show starts behind the eight ball. It struggles with the over-the-top style. Bill Paxton is a little too obvious. Justin Cornwell is lacking. It does recover over time but it was always an uphill battle even before Paxton's untimely death.
