Just saw commercial. Season premiere Tuesday on TNT.

Wondered what happened to this show and didn't realize it had been canceled. I thought it was a pretty good show and it was critically acclaimed. Apparently they made 13 episodes, but only 7 originally aired. TNT has not signed on for any new shows yet, but will be airing the entire seasons beginning Tuesday.

lol, wow. I thought this was a new show. I planned on checking it out but I thought it was new, not returning.

Ryan Atwood as a cop gives me a bit of a chuckle though.

I liked this show. Very intense, and it takes a little while to get used to the style and the pacing, as it really isn't like any of the other shows on television. I read somewhere that it was one of the victims of the Jay Leno show monopolizing the 10 o'clock hour every night of the week.

Ahhhh, makes sense.

If Atwood is the young cop, he's actually quite good in the series.

It was easily one of the best new dramas on show last year, I thought.

I really liked this show. I starting watching it quite a bit, but if I remember correctly it was on at an odd time? and slowly I forgot to watch it.. I'm glad I didnt continue watching it, after hearing they didnt even air the whole season!

I really like the show. I hope that TNT can make it work and keep it going another few seasons. Personally, I think it was too "real" for basic TV.

Reminds me in many respects of The Shield, but without the corruption. :D
