darkavenger77 As a retired cop, I watch a lot of cop shows on TV. I recently had the chance to pick up a set of the DVDs of Robbery Homicide Division and was reminded why I liked this show so much and how bad most other cop shows are in comparison.It's refreshing to see realistic police work- things like sitting on a robbery suspect for 3 days with nothing happening. Search warrants that are not instantaneous. Detectives that look like detectives- wearing suits and ties and clean shaved or with normal facial hair. Detectives with notepads writing things down. Morbid humor at crime scenes ("He missed the bus, but the bus didn't miss him!"). Lawyers that keep their clients from talking to police. Then there's one of my pet peeves- cops entering a tactical situation indoors while wearing sunglasses. It doesn't happen on this show. One of the most memorable scenes for me comes from "Free and Clear" where Lt. Cole confronts an armed kidnapper holding a shotgun on the victim. The suspect gets about 1 syllable out and Cole double-taps him with his gun, then secures the suspect's weapon. I've read the show had great technical advice from the LAPD and it is evident. Another plus for me is the lack of foul language or overly graphic scenes.The dialog was well-written. The characters and the cases were very believable. Tom Sizemore's quirkiness while apparently a reason for the downfall of the show also made Lt. Cole a realistic and interesting character.Having watched and enjoyed Michael Mann's earlier Miami Vice (1984) and Crime Story (1986 with the late real life cop turned actor Dennis Farina), I see elements of both here. It's unfortunate we only got 13 episodes of this greatness, but that is all too often the way of quality television, especially in our instant-gratification modern world.
bob2 This show doesn't stand a chance.It has everything. A great cast, excellent music and beautiful photography. It has nothing that will allow it to survive on CBS.Another great show that had everything going for it was also on CBS. "EZ Streets" didn't last a full season. I don't expect RHD to last long either unless they somehow find a way to vote off members of the cast.
Laurie_Brooks I really like Robbery Homicide Division. Tom Sizemore is excellent in this role. Whoever is doing the camera work is taking the best pictures of Los Angeles I have ever seen, from every angle and from every neighborhood. Tom Sizemore's office is in a high rise building in downtown Los Angeles and the view from the windows showing the freeways day and night make me feel like I am inside the building looking out and the view is magnificent. I also like the way the story gets right to the point. Tom Sizemore is a no nonsense, brilliant detective. This program is shown on channel 2 at 10:00PM on Fridays.
Trevlin Robbery Homicide Division is the best new show of this season. I hope, i really hope, that it doesn't get canceled. Even the best shows are given little chance to grow these days if their ratings aren't immediately impressive. RHD has a great look, the high definition video is perfect for the subject matter. Yes, this is the TV version of Heat. Tom Sizemore is absolutely perfect. The pilot was amazing. I can't say enough good things about this show. It shows you a glimpse of the reality of being a cop in LA. Forget Boomtown, forget The Shield (well, maybe not The Shield) this is the real deal.
