1. I've got it saved on my DVR, but haven't had time to watch it yet.

I hear good things.

2. I like it.

I have been Tivoing the things that are opposite 1-8-7 and watching it live.

I like the fast pace. Most of the characters have some authenticity. And it is great to see something set in Detroit. We overlook that poor, blighted city too often.

I will give this a chance. It has some good things going for it.

4. It's not bad

It'll need to do something to stand out from all the other cop shows, but it's really good to see it set in Detroit. Michael Imperiolli is great in it, too.

5. there were some cliche moments in the pilot, but I've got hope for it

I've only seen the pilot--I didn't catch it last night but will probably watch it on OnDemand or hulu sometimes this week.

The style is promising, I like the pace, the setting should be interesting (especially once we get to the episodes that are actually filmed in Detroit--I think the pilot was filmed in Atlanta), and some of the actors are very good. I'm a big fan of Michael Imperioli (though in a few of his scenes you could really hear the typewriter). The issues with the pilot are of the sort that often crop up in a pilot, so I think they might be able to work them out as the season goes on. I hope that it does well.
