    A little unbelievable at times, but a fun show.

    This show had a good cast; Dennis Franz and Benjamin Bratt, but it didn't last very long. It was bit stereotypical: the asian cop owned a martial arts dojo, colombians were drug pushers, african-americans were crack addicts, etc. However, it had great story lines, good character development, and great action sequences. The producer of this show, Dick Wolf, later added Benjamin Bratt to another of his long running vehicles, Law & Order. It just wasn't given enough time to develop.

    Another excellent show that was cancelled

    This was yet another show that was cancelled before it was even given a chance. That is one of the reasons I do not watch a lot of television today. All the good shows get cancelled, yet stupid sitcoms last forever. High Mountain Rangers was another great show that ended, and I am sure everybody can think of others. Great action. Fast paced. Exciting. this stupid window will not accept unless I have ten lines. this is annoying. I am used to saying short comments.
