Length:
season 1: 10 episodes.
Notes:
Not your typical cop show, this one features criminals on both sides of the law looking for ways to profit from crime rather than stop it. There is a pretty big discrepancy between it's IMDB audience and Rotten Tomato audience scores, but the IMDB rating includes a much larger sample size and is closer to the truth. Good but not great, this show doesn't take many risks. It features a relatively simple storyline, but has very strong character actors, including legendary New York nightlife icon Was Stevens.
