To Serve and Protect

The dramatic Craig T. Nelson makes another wonderful dramatic lead character. This Mini-Series is one of the best I have ever seen. Nelson proves he can do comedy with "Coach" and Drama with "To Serve and Protect". Outstanding support characters and wonderful writing makes it a not-to-miss mini-series.

A dysfunctional Dallas police family with a blonde bimbo daughter (who just happens to be a police officer ... unknown to her father !!!!!) chase a Dirty Harry style nutcase around a merry-go-round of circumstances each more unbelievable than the last. I found myself cheering for the perp. when he almost murdered the blonde. If the murder had taken place 3 generations previously we wouldn't have had to watch this rubbish.

Deary me.

i really, really loved this movie. everything about it was perfect: the plot, the cast, etc. it is truly a sitting on the edge of your seat, biting you nails kind of thriller! i have never seen a movie before in which i literally could not stop watching the movie. it was that good. it was suspense mixed with tragedy and romance. I've read some of the negative user comments and i think those people just don't like suspense movies. it includes cheating, lies, death, and heartbreak. my kind of movie! very organized film. i recommend anyone who likes crime and suspense to definitely check this movie out. I'm actually going online now to try to buy it. i hope everyone else enjoys it as much as i did.

What an utter piece of crap. This pilot for a mini-series has not only has the highly unprobable scenario of grandfather, father and daughter as cops all at the same time and in the same department, but also the daughter and father working on the same task force together. The acting is wooden, the script unplausible. The whole thing is just a great waste of time.

I enjoy your show but was disturb by what I saw. Why would a seasoned officer handle evidence in a case with bare hands (no gloves), the mace container. Why would an officer handle evidence without gloves. Not only was evidence contaminated but now the officer prints are on the container. The show I saw was aired on December 28, 2005 at 11:30 pm on SUN TV in Hamilton. It makes me concerned that this may be an avenue for the defense that the evidence was contaminated. Or are we dealing with a COST issued like rape cases ( unless you can identify our rapist the DNA is not tested) so a serial rapist can go undetected. The only way to identify a criminal is by EYE WITNESS identification which we know is unreliable.
