Shouldn't Have Been Cancelled


While I agree that the show didn't start off great, by the end it was so good, the last episode was amazing, and maybe ABC would have seen that had they not axed the show after a mere 3 episodes, not even giving it a chance.

Agree. I thought the first two episodes were sloppy and rushed, I wasn't even going to give it anothother chance, but i'm glad I did since the third episode is just brilliant. And the rest was great.
They messed up on this show. But I never figured ABC to do an interesting story like this, they will waste endless funds on family drama.

Very true

I'm pissed because after watching the 3rd episode, it was GETTING REAL REAL INTERESTING!!!!!

Exactly, it got so good as soon as they cancelled it

Yea, typical ABC *beep* Shows that last forever bore me to tears but let a show get cancelled that just gets interesting and if different than most shows on TV.

No, it needed to. Some of the episodes were gripping enough. But, in the end, it was to predictable.

Those type of shows never make it because they always fail on the continuity angle. But, what really hurt the show was when it was released. This should've been a limited series during the summer. Not, an October premiere. Were they crazy or what?

I couldn't stand Betty's character (unbelievable), and Diver's character was atrocious. Evan Ross looked like they picked him up straight out of rehab to film the series. Paco was a lazy idiot looking for the quick answer and easy way out. He was so eager to pin the crime on Dave when all the evidence more than convincingly pointed to Kent. Jack spent more time with his mistress than he's own family. Well, I guess that's the point of having a side piece, huh.

No they weren't crazy. This debuted in October to capitalize with a horror theme the cunning murderer that LAPD has to find and catch.

This isn't your typical crime drama, I was so damn happy watching this tv show but the gut punch happened very early.
At least the unaired episodes were available on demand.
