a5c7b9f00b The everyday trials and tribulations of Detroit&#39;s homicide unit. I have watched all of season 1 and have to say I absolutely LOVE this show! I am a big fan of crime-drama type TV (CSI, Law &amp; Order) and this is my favorite of all of them. The filming style is so realistic and the characters are complex and multi-dimensional. I haven&#39;t seen a series this &quot;real&quot; since Hill Street Blues.<br/><br/>When we first meet the primary character, Fitch, it seems like he might spend the rest of the seriesthe weird, slightly off cop. I was worried the character would end up like Monk…a sort of savant with no social skills. As the episodes pass, we learn more about him and understand why he is so careful to avoid deeper connections with those around him. Layer after layer is revealed and we find an amazing example of a well-developed character.<br/><br/>All of the characters in this show are well crafted and all of the actors do a superb job with the roles. There are no trite plot developments…which is shocking considering how many crime drama episodes are already in existence.<br/><br/>I hope this series is renewed! I have only just found this series and watched every episode over the last few days. It was one of the best cop shows I have seen in a long time. The acting was good, characters were strong and believable and ones which you could relate to. The Fitch character was the one who had me asking what more is there to him? What dark, deep secret was he holding onto? Story lines were good and well thought out, dealing with strong subject matter without going over the top. It is sad that the show has been cancelled. The powers that be seem more intent on ratings and profits rather than producing quality that people will enjoy. There have been other more recent cop shows that have been aired, none (in my opinion) have beengoodDetroit 1-8-7. Shame on those who decided to cancel it.
