OK - disclaimer here. I despise reality TV. I'm a fan of great writing and the reality TV surge of late has seen quality writing pushed onto the fringes of mainstream media.
Boston's Finest is not a huge stand out. It blends the awful Cops with great camera angles and sound effects. The production values are so high one has difficulty believing it's the fly on the wall series it pretends to be. Many shots are clearly set up or dramatised later.
Other than that, it is no different than any other reality show. We follow the lives of the boys and girls in blue as they clean up the streets. We get to see glimpses of their families and they give us narratives of their fears and motivations.
I'm not really sure if this is reality or carefully scripted to hoodwink the viewer. Either way the pilot episode didn't hold me enough to care so this won't become part of my viewing schedule.
