Why isn't the classic Rolling Stones song this shows opening theme? Just as every cop is a criminal/And all the sinners saints. Afterall, CSI has "Who Are You" and it rocks week after week. Just like this show.
This is a first rate morality play that never gets heavy handed. It's a simple question: Who is worse? The corrupt police Strike Team, or the street trash they put away? If the cops control the drug trade, can they in turn control crime by taking out the not conforming crooks who refuse to play with a rigged deck?
These are bad guy cops that you can't help but like and you pull for even their most foul deeds, as murdering a fellow cop turned informant. Like the Mafia, they kill and then cry the loudest at their victim's funeral. It's a fascinating cop drama that dares to take on the underbelly of society. Solid acting and some hilarous dialogue (Episode 11, CARNIVORES, is a laugh fest with the cops exchanging quips with the Nation of Islam, no less!).
Shawn Ryan has the vision few seldom get to explore. Cheers to FX for their gutsy programing decision.
