Missed it on purpose. Judging from the previews, to me it looked like a show that glorified police brutality and vigilante justice. Not into that...(not implying that you do. Maybe the show wasn't what I perceived the previews to be showing).

Same reason why I avoid another show by the name of The Agency. I don't want anything to do with a show that glorifies the CIA. While the whole spy-thing might be cool, there's a darker side to the CIA...

That about sums it up. Basically the bald dude is a dirty cop, who beats up guys to get confessions, takes bribes, and is helping one drug lord by killing off all of the dealer for another one. Has some deal with a hooker (wants to see her better I guess... :confused , has a little ring of other crooked cops and randomly killed another cop who wanted in (to bust him). The chef (for some reason I didn't catch) hates him (and vice versa) but can't touch him (stupid politics I guess...anyone catch why?)

...but I like seeing it as it is.
