So sad this got cancelled. Really great spin on a cop series. I'm actually mad this only has two seasons.

This TV series from a personal point of view was very enjoyable.Saw the actor previously act in Homeland and found this by tracking down his name it about a cop who was framed for murder and spent a number of years in jail.who got out will millions from the state when he was found innocent and return to the same police force that wrongly accused him of murder.where he plotted to seek revenge on those who wrong him once he found out who they were.A count of Monte Cristo flick on police drama. The comical feature of Damian Lewis who plays the lead role in the TV drama flick gave it the extra boosting in it's already great success.i recommend this TV series to be watch it very enjoyable

A detective's job is to protect and serve even after 12 years in prison. When the lead character releases escaped prisoners he just witnessed kill, it's beyond criminal negligence. It's going to far when you shoot your car rather than a hostage taker holding a gun on a hostage. The writer could have at least put the con behind his hostage so we could imagine shooting him would place the hostage at greater risk. Instead the cops release two homicidal ex-cons in the hope that they wouldn't shoot the hostage and countless others. Why not just shoot the hostage and join the escaped cons in their criminal rampage? It must be a comedy.

I was every episode of this show while it was running on NBC; and I've since bought bought the the two seasons of the show on iTunes. I've all the episodes a few more times over the years; and it hasn't lost any of it's original appeal. In the last five to ten years NBC has been making terrible programing decision; which is demonstrated by their terrible ratings numbers on nearly every time period of nearly every day of the week. This was an excellent show; with a great cast, turning in great performances, helped by excellent writing. Damian Lewis and Sarah Shahi bring to life two quirky and fun characters. Damian playing man deeply affected by the years he spent in spent being brutalized while serving time for a crime he didn't commit. Add to his problems, the problems of Sarah's character who has burned many bridges on her job with the LAPD; and is stuck with Crews (Damian's character). They are backed up by a very deep and excellent supporting cast. Adam Arkin doesn't get a lot of screen time but adds a great deal to the series. Other supporting characters include Donal Logue ("Terrers", "The Knights of Prosperiety", etc.) who joins the show half way through the first season as Crews shift commander. And those are just a few of the members of this wonderful cast. Each episode was a new a new case; but there were a few on-going story lines that were woven into various episodes; that involved Crews looking the men that helped him get convicted and put in prison, his discovery of a many of the new things (small cell phones, flat panels, and many other new bits of technology and pop culture) that he has not seen before and has to get used to, his interests in new cars, his use of Zen to help him survive jail and survive the outside world. I won't go into details of episode story lines; but suffice to say this is a fun, moving, and some times gripping series. This is a show that should have lasted at least five seasons. NBC didn't bother to publicize this show anywhere near enough; and didn't give it enough time on a specific day at a specific time for this show to gain an audience. This is a smart, fun, cop drama that I can't imagine anyone, who gives it a chance, could possibly dislike. You can get all the episodes for a reasonable price on iTunes; it's a great return for your entertainment dollars. If your reading this, take my advice look this show up on iTunes and check out the previews, and buy yourself a season. Once you do; you'll be sorry there's only one more season to come by. I'd give it 15 stars if I could!!!
