Very strong show. Believable story and really intriguing. Great acting. Is this show the reason why Tyler Hynes ("Luke Reid" in SH) left Saving Hope? Incidentally he's a likeable guy, got obnoxious at the end in SH and is now playing a jerk. Well, at least he's still got a minor role and is rarely seen anyway. This show focuses on the live of police officers and does so really well. One main/overall aspect in this show is the main characters guilt and responsibility that he puts on himself for a terrible mistake he did and that is dealt with from episode one and onwards. But it is done more or less in an episodic way and surfaces every now and then and is rather subtle at most (other) times. I like the way how that is done. It doesn't shove it in your face at all times and gives you room to breathe and enjoy the rest of the stories that are presented but you are still very aware of that. It is done with great care and aesthesia. This kind of police story show is not to be confused with others like CSI or similar. Can't wait for this to get a (hopefully) second season (adaption). Understandable why the French original version got a lot of praise. I just wish this'd be easier to watch for a European (who doesn't speak French) without days of delays.

The most realistic cop drama put to film because it's about beat cops and it mainly portrays them fucking up horribly. Makes an incredibly compelling case for defunding the police.
