Detroit 187

[MannyIsGod]

Caught this by chance tonight but I am really glad I did. It was a damn good show and the writing and acting were very well done.

I hope the series is able to live up to the promise of the pilot.

I want to get on board with this show, seeing as how it co-stars Chrissy, but I can't get over seein him as a cop.

I was just telling Jess how I thought it was genius he waited so long to do something again because this role could not be more different from his Sopranos role but he's really really good. I wouldn't say he stole the show but he's definitely the most prominent person.

[Fpoonsie]

I'll hafta check out the pilot, assuming it's as impressive as you say.

I guess I don't have to watch it now...thanks.

I had heard about this one and was hoping to catch it, but TCM has Vivien Leigh movies on Tuesday nights for the month of September so maybe next month or online. But I didn't realize this one was on ABC; that pretty much dooms it for me I think----every drama I've ever seen on the 3 networks gets so soap-operish right away I end up :sleep

Oooops

Oooops

Maybe you should edit out the spoiler.

I missed it this week but saw the pilot a few months ago. Did it still have a documentary style? I found that a little jarring but then I heard they were cutting some of those pieces out because it didn't test well.

If you liked this you might DVR Blue Bloods on Friday. Tom Selleck's mustache in all its glory, but also a pretty intriguing cop/family/conspiracy drama. I'm not usually into cop dramas, but I liked the pilot and I'll probably catch a few more episodes to see where it goes.

[PakiDan]

Saw it. Good stuff! -- also - saw Raising Hope on Fox... that was one funny show!!! Well written!

Me too. :lol Cloris Leachman cracked me up.

[PM5K]

Didn't watch it, didn't do too well in the ratings either.

[PakiDan]

Cloris Leachman was SPECTACULAR! "GET THAT DOG OFF MY COUCH!"

[oh crap]

I thought it was pretty good. I wasn't expecting to get into it. Let's see what how it goes next week.

[DarkReign]

Listening to local sports radio here in Detroit, no one seems too impressed.

<-- didnt watch it, never will

[DeadlyDynasty]

It sort of reminded me of Homicide, but not as good

I saw this before heading out for the night and really liked it. Overlooking some of the weaknesses, it was much better than I expected.

Manny,

Are you still watching? It's getting better every week.

[JoeChalupa]

I watched it and thought it was okay. I watched Hawaii 50 too.

[PakiDan]

Manny,

Are you still watching? It's getting better every week.

I'm really getting a kick out of the gritty cinematography and use of handhelds... and the soundtracks are killer! Awesome production quality lends itself well to pretty well written scripts and acting. I'm really enjoying this one!

[2Blonde]

I wasn't crazy about Detroit 187. I kept getting the impression out was trying too hard to be Southland & failing@out.

Raising Hope was cute though.

[Darrin]

It was okay. It seems mostly a cops-crime show and it has no character development. There's the old guy, the jaded cop, the new cop, and their boss. The phone is overplayed and it cheapens the ending. Moltisanti's last scenes in the house are not fresh. The acting is good, but the fact he didn't have a jacket on just kills me.

So-so show. And living in the Detroit area, we may be violent, but not that violent. We don't have standoffs every day. It wasn't just another day and that had no weight in the show. They treat it like they'll have a standoff tomorrow and that's insulting.

[MannyIsGod]

LOL @ Detroit resident being insulted over Hollywood portrayal of their city. Be insulted that your city is falling apart at the seams not at some TV show.

It's not either-or.

[Heath Ledger]

The acting is atrocious. It will get cancelled.

Your right, but being offended at Hollywood for exaggerating a problem is foolish as all hell.

Why is it foolish? I'm not blaming Hollywood for an image problem, I just want them to be careful with it.

[JoeChalupa]

Anybody watch last night? Good show.

[MannyIsGod]

Stopped watching about 4 episodes in.

[IronMaxipad]

This show is getting canceled

[MannyIsGod]

Pilot was great but damn it fell off a cliff FAST.

[JoeChalupa]

Meh, I like it but I'm a simple minded mofo.

[Pick of Destiny]

Tell us something we don't know.
