Very similar to movies such as The Town and Departed, this was an entertaining Season 1. The final episode clearly left many arcs hanging for future episodes. Bacon hams it up as the shady FBI "not all bad" so he claims. While a bit of a thug Jackie the cop seems well read and has an appropriate anecdote or historical reference for any situation. A whole bunch of Law and Order and Oz series character actors have big and small roles, almost expecting to hear the signature L&O sting music as the figurative shoes drop. Well made cops and robbers drama.

Warning: Spoilers
The show went far too anticlimactic for its finale. No shock with the trial, no surprising death, not a lot of action.

This show proved to be okay, but if it wants to be considered among Showtime's best dramas the second season needs to up the ante in a big way.
