RHD was Mann's foray into digital production which resulted in Collateral after its quick cancelation. The show is great, showing the nightwork of detectives as they hunt, wheel, and deal their way through cases. It highlights the actual procedural work that detectives do compared to Law & Order which seems so dull despite all the legal lingo.
Sizemore was apparently under the influence of drugs during that period and I think it possibly gave his performances an additional edge that made him very captivating. Regardless, the episodes had an amazing look and feel that you don't get with other police procedurals. I do have one gripe, which is the short life of Mario Van Peeble's character, Alton Davis. He was the perfect villain for the series and deserved a continuation.
