Did you know
- TriviaNBC executives disliked the character of Officer Dewey Dudek and wanted him to be killed off when the show was airing on NBC.
- GoofsThroughout the series, real Los Angeles thoroughfares or sections are named (e.g. Rodeo, Florence, Vermont), while scenery is nowhere near the real life locations. Even fictitious addresses aren't within the range seen on the real street (e.g. 1024 Rodeo Rd. can't exist on a street that only goes as far east as the 2000 West block).
- Crazy creditsOne of the first images in the opening credit sequence is a police officer pointing his service weapon in the direction of the camera. That is actually Los Angeles Police Chief, James "Two-Gun" Davis, who served from 1926 to 1931.

Featured review
Why don't these good shows last?
Just finished watching the last episode of season one. Astounding!
Good TV shows like this don't seem to last for long. OZ, Homicide, 3rd Watch, Law & Order UK, Southland.
Why? We need more. Please.
Update after nearly finishing all episodes: Now I understand why it was cancelled - they ran out of content.
The main recurring theme is partnership, trust, or lack thereof when some cops make mistakes either intentionally or not. It became tedious by the 4th season.
The other theme is LA crime, and that got tedious quite quickly also because most of these thugs are: mid 20s, petty or gang crime, pregnant girl/wife, ruinign their child's life. It never evolves to other types of crime like corruption or premeditated murder, or whatever. Basically it is too dull to get the attention and when its not (like that police station shoot out) they don't give it enough story (ended up to be just a random guy. Wait, what?! You wasted a good story bois).
It was good while it lasted. Auf Wiedersehen.
