What an ending!
One of those shows I wish I could just torrent and watch all night. Like Patrick Swayze's "The Beast".

I've never seen that many white people in Detroit in my life lol. They need to change the name to Royal Oak 1-8-7. As a Detroiter I can tell you it's a bout a 1/10 on the accuracy scale. Was really hoping for something better like The Wire - Detroit Edition.
The problem is it got fucked up in production because it was originally intended to be a mockumentary style cop show until a little girl got killed by the cops in real life with a film crew on location (for a different show - First 48) so the city of Detroit told them they couldn't do it. So they had to change it to a drama style show, and you could definitely see the schizophrenic nature in the pilot. Hopefully they'll iron that out and stop trying to be so PC, then maybe it will be a decent cop show.

Episode 2 is even worse - officially done giving this show a chance. Nice to see Michael J. Fox got work as a cameraman though.
