This could have been a good show


I just watched this on the L.A. Confidential Special Edition DVD and it's a richly layered and realistic crime drama in the same vein as Southland and I felt it could have continued if the film had had a bigger fan following before the show to attract an audience. I'd never read the book before but it looked like this show would have elaborated on more material that the movie had to exclude for pacing reasons and pulled us deeper into the whole Los Angeles intrigue and spent more time getting to know all the characters than we had in the film. It's too bad we'll never know where it would have lead to because all the actors are so good looking and so fresh in their performances that I would have wanted to see more of them.

It should've been on HBO or Showtime, Network tv would've ruined it.
