CGiii Comment
Formulaic police series...with mandatory b&w flashbacks...strictly for those that do not want to be challenged...spoon-feeding television.
Episodes of interest...
Season 1, Episode 7 - A Time to Hate
Teen gets murdered after visiting a gay bar in the 60s...a mother, in denial, seeks the truth.
The macho-ism and innuendo on show is both putrid and offensive - and, cut the homophobic quips.
"There is alot that is ugly about our past...". There certainly is...
It's all a bit lame as you would expect...but, it will pluck at your heartstrings without shame...and, if it changes just one attitude of the spoon-fed masses...that's a good thing.
Season 2, Episode 7 - It's Raining Men
AIDS vigilantism...done with boxing gloves.
Heavy-handed claptrap.
Season 2, Episode 22 - Best Friends
The script is painful.
A lesbian love story emanating from the Prohibition.
70 years later - everyone is still alive with all their faculties intact - shame the same can't be said about the writers. And, the acting is...bad.
Season 4, Episode 10: Forever Blue
Bent cops...in more ways than one.
Tiresome format, tawdry script, and terrible acting.
