The everyday trials and tribulations of Detroit's homicide unit. After watching this show I can tell you this, It could have potential. As much as I thought the main actor would be stereotyped, he does well. As a matter of fact most of the police actors do well. <br/><br/>However, The main drawback to this show is Hollywood pushing propaganda with it. As well as being way to politically correct. The fact is according to this show just about every criminal in Detroit is a white guy or gal.<br/><br/>Now I don't consider this a race issue I consider it a realism issue. DETROIT is majority Black city and the majority of the crime is drug crimes naturally being committed by the majority ethnic group of the area…which isn't whites. If they are going to go that route the show should be called fargo ND Homicide or something like that.<br/><br/>Not only that Hollywood is making just about every single relationship in the show an interracial one. This is not being done on accident as it happens in every show.. its being done on purpose. so..<br/><br/>For the acting, I give the show a 8. For the fact Hollywood is using the show for propaganda purposes or just as bad to try to be politically correct and pretend the crime rate is different then what it is in detroit.. I subtract 3.. giving the show a 5 for pretty good overall acting.<br/><br/>Had Hollywood not tried to make social statement with the show.. it probably would be coming back for a second season. too bad, maybe next time they won't bow down to the gods of political correctness and make a truly gritty show that also is based on SOME reality. All you have to do is watch the pilot. Fantastic acting from all of the actors with a few mistakes in the pilot (which was the only episode not shot in Detroit). But… unless you live in Michigan, no one give a crap about Detroit so the show was cancelled after one season. I don't care about what the NYPD shows think they have, because Detroit 1-8-7 has humor, drama, action, a little bit of romance, and just about everything you look for in a show/movie. With a season finale you want an episode that gives you closure in case the show doesn't air again, but also leaves the show open for another season. I watched the show on Netflix and it will never leave the instant queue. Watch Detroit 1-8-7 and you will find out that it's our city, our rules in Detroit.
