Quirky & nuanced with a unique take on the cop partner genre. Was part of the initial group of "golden age of tv" era. Series allowed to run its natural course culminating in one of the most raw & powerful climax to occur on a major network.

I've come to this show late, having completely missed it when it was first aired in 2007. As a Damien Lewis fan I decided to give the first episode a view just out of interest and was hooked almost immediately, what a great show, with some strong characters. Here in 2015 our detectives tend to be growling, uber serious, depressing, ultra macho problem children (with the emphasis on child). This series however is clever, stylish (it holds up really well against todays 'look in place of plot' helpings) with enough tongue-in-cheek quirkiness to make it a good watch without wanting to go and jump off a cliff afterwards.But, two seasons? What went wrong? I can only surmise that they didn't get the required ratings to keep it afloat. Of course there could be a myriad of other explanations but the show just seemed to be getting into its stride when it was all wrapped up very quickly and left in the rubbish bin. Certainly, on closer inspection, Damien Lewis never mentions it in any of his interviews, as if it was something he wasn't too proud of, which I just don't understand, it was a great piece of work.Anyway, for anyone tired of todays televised crime show darkness and gloom, this is well worth a watch, even if its just to see what makes a good cop show both interesting AND entertaining.

When I first read the summary for this show it seemed like nothing new, A cop who went to jail for a crime he didn't commit and then was exonerated. However the way this show was handled character wise and even for a story this mundane the writers managed to put a lot of creativity into it. let's start with the best thing about this show the main character, this is one the best characters I've seen in a TV show in a long time, he's just so all-around likable he's everything a character like this should be; he's wild, he's tenacious, he's smart, he's kinda crazy but understandable at the same time, he's eccentric but knows when to be serious, he's just everything you look for in a main character and on top of that I find the supporting characters a lot fun to; his a partner has her own story arcs that I actually find rather interesting. and the cases that they work are entertaining and are very creative. The characters are deep, the writing is great, the story is creative it's just an all-around great show and it's a shame that it was canceled after just two short seasons.

This TV series from a personal point of view was very enjoyable.Saw the actor previously act in Homeland and found this by tracking down his name it about a cop who was framed for murder and spent a number of years in jail.who got out will millions from the state when he was found innocent and return to the same police force that wrongly accused him of murder.where he plotted to seek revenge on those who wrong him once he found out who they were.A count of Monte Cristo flick on police drama. The comical feature of Damian Lewis who plays the lead role in the TV drama flick gave it the extra boosting in it's already great success.i recommend this TV series to be watch it very enjoyable
