I absolutely loved this show. It felt so real to me and I absolutely loved all of the cast, I loved Abby the most because she is such a strong woman and wont let anything stand in the way of what she wants, and the family was a wonderful match up they were all fit the parts perfectly, I was amazed at how good the show was and was very sad to see that they've decided not to air it again. I just wanted to let someone know how I felt about it and hope there are more people out there who would love to see this show again, even if some of the cast had to be changed but I don't think anyone could fit the part of Abby as well as Rachael Carpani. I also think she would be great in other shows and movies! Thank You.
... View MoreI loved this show and have been waiting to see the continuation of it. I hope it will be on again as my husband and I DVR'ed it and watched it religiously. The combination of a family story and police show and all the stories that go on around the lives of each makes it interesting and compelling. This is one of those rare shows that you don't want to fade away. Everyone in the show is well cast and I want to know which guy the daughter will pick. The main character has left the family route of police work and chosen Internal Affairs to the chagrin of her father and brothers. There is a great deal of tension between her and the rest of the family in her attempt to be herself, make her own choices and still belong to the family. Her father and brothers have turned their back on her for her choice but she stands her ground. I sure hope there is more to come because I would be sorely disappointed if it isn't slated for a new season.
... View MoreI actually think this a fairly good show. The plots are interesting and Rachael Carpani is quite good in the lead role as Abby. My main criticism - and what probably lowered my rating by a star - is the over the top portrayal of Abby as the "queen of booty calls." Why is it that many of the TV shows these days think it is so modernistic to have female characteristics imitate the worst traits of the male gender? Okay, we get it. Women have just as much of a right to use men for sex as men do to use them. What a notable victory for women's rights! The significance of getting the right to vote pales in comparison.But how many times do we have to see Abby get a sudden "itch" and call her brother's partner to scratch it? And now she's got another guy to do the same thing (she dropped the other because he wanted to actually date her!), but God forbid she actually develops a real relations with any of these men, or she might lose her title as the best female version of a man whore on television today. I get the feeling that if she ever went out with a guy and he refused to take her to bed on the first date, he would be history.My suggestion is stop waving the banner for women's equal right to casual sex on every episode and focus on giving a little more depth than that to Carpani's character. There are plenty of man whores on TV already. We can do with one less female version of "McSteamy."
... View MoreI've read a lot of bad reviews and honestly, I don't understand where the hostility is coming from. From what I've seen of this show, I like it and it keeps me coming back each week. Being someone who watches Lifetime semi regularly, my curiosity was piqued when I kept seeing promos for their new show and I watched the pilot and was impressed. The premise is a Chicago woman takes an opening in Internal Affairs when her father and three older brothers are all blue-collar cops and are upset with her when they find about her new job. I found this show interesting and this is from someone who doesn't watch a lot of crime TV. What makes it interesting isn't necessarily the crime aspect or prominent eye candy (although there are some cuties to be seen) but because of the story and the characters themselves. It is believable that they are a real family rather than just actors and the way they relate to each other makes their family dynamic believable. So far the stories have been interesting enough to keep me coming back and I hope this stays around for a while.
