O2D I have to start off by saying that I knew almost nothing about Steven Seagal before I saw this show.The only fact I knew about him was that he played guitar and had released CDs, but much like his movies, I was never exposed to them.I just believed what I had heard about him on TV, that he was a fat idiot who made terrible movies.I still haven't seen any of his movies but I did watch every episode of this show.I know it's been over for years but I'm just getting to it now, deal with it.After watching this show I have nothing but respect for Seagal.While his standing in the law enforcement community may be questionable, he's a very talented man.He's an expert marksman who trains other police officers in firearms,he's also a master of Aikido and also trains people in that form of martial arts.To top it all off, he's an awesome guitarist with a great band.I learned all that from this show and I still have no interest in seeing any of his movies.I see that many of the reviews of this show are negative and I bet it's because those people saw his crappy movies.If you have the chance to see this show, watch it.You just might be surprised.

eupawel This is the documentary series of the type reality-TV in which we have an opportunity to see how looks the work of the police officers in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. Action, drama and tragedies in which participate and heroes help. I watched all episodes from first season, where I had the opportunity to know Steven from quite other side - as the father, the husband and deputy sheriffs. The life of the man who not only earns a livelihood playing in films, but having the normal life (He wanting to help communities, because he is a part of it). He riveted my attention for longer and I could to be the focus of attention to which things they can be essential for everyone of us. I am glad that I reached for this series = for me 8/10.

jeremy-peril1 Just saw this weeks episode. There was a guy that was drunk as a skunk with an open container who was driving a car. They took him NOT for the DWI but for warrants. They then let us know that he did NOT get charged for the DWI at all. They let the other guy (also drunk) call his girlfriend to drive the car. I guess Jefferson Parish has no tow yard. They also pulled two men over with who knows what in a bottle and said it was medicine. Ever heard of the open container law? Last week, same thing. They caught a guy driving drunk and just let him go. You have got to be kidding me! I would like to move to their precinct so that I can drink and drive and know that there are no repercussions. Great job, guys, keep up the good work!

psygnsis I was extremely excited when I saw the previews to "Lawman" air on TV. I actually had to wait a couple months to be able to set my DVR to record the show. Now I'm not a Steven Seagal fan per-say, but I do enjoy police/prison shows. When I was able to sit down and watch the recorded show I was pretty disappointed by the editing! Just absolutely horrific editing. Things like the same camera shot used multiple times and bad "background music". I was able to tell when one shot of him "turning to watch a suspect" then the next forward shot of him facing forward riding in the truck with a "just riding around" look on his face, were completely edited shots that were smashed together.Watching Steven work as a Deputy Sheriff along with watching him teach other deputy's self-defense and firearms training was awesome, I studied what he had to say for my own personal use.PLEASE for the love of God... FIRE the editors. Or Stop using cheesy back ground music, the same shot over and over or smashing shots that don't match together!!Because of the horrible editors I gave 8 out of ten stars for this review. Good show premise... but bad execution!
