Detroit 187 - Chicago Code 0

I hope that you are not missing one the of the best written, directed, filmed and edited television police dramas ever made: Detroit 1-8-7. Sunday evening a pivotal episode was slotted into the 10 pm dead zone when most people are getting to sleep early to prepare for Monday's work after a long weekend. Shame on ABC. After months of building intricate plot lines, ABC puts the payoff on Sunday evening. Glad I have a DVR. Anyway, go online at http://abc.go.com/shows/detroit-1-8-7.

Fitch, a central character, played by Michael Imperioli, like Casals played the cello, has tones of insight and nuance rarely seen in series television. The character becomes real in all his tormented life. Face with moral decisions of dire consequence to his son and his partner and his unit, he bravely accepts potential ramifications to himself which most less clear persons would run from.

This is a show that makes the post GM bankruptcy Detroit come alive. The exteriors are clearly in Detroit. The fabric of the city is the fabric of the story. Don't miss this. If there is a hint that it might not be renewed for another season, write ABC and tell them you want more. And you will. Just watch the latest episode online. Sphere: Related Content
