Street Time

"Street Time" takes the viewer into the life of the federal parole officer and his/her parolees. Focusing on one of each, a P.O. (Cohen) and an excon (Morrow), both family men with problems, this series is a very smart and powerful uncompromising drama. Unpredictable, realistic, and believable, "Street Time" skillfully delivers a linear story crisscrossed with side plots and every episode jam-packed with serious, gritty, hardcore drama. Lacking the mediocrity demanded by the viewing public at large, "Street Time" is too good to last. (A-)
