If they stuck to the covert ops and ditched the wife at home part the show would be a lot better

Agreed - I could careless about the wives - I turn the channel to Scrubs everything the women come on the screen


It should be more like Law & Order - no personal crap - just a fast moving ,twisted story.

I said it after the premier episode and I'll say it again, Regina King is the best character on this show IMO. CBS knows what they are doing! ;)

I had pretty high hopes for the series before it started airing but it's turning out to be crap. By spending roughly half the show on the unit's operations and the other half on the wives, there's almost no plot or character development. Pick one or the other but don't try to cram both into a 48 minute show.

My guess is the show will get canned before the end of this season.

Isn't that the same way with "The Shield" though?? I mean its all Action Jackson one minute with Vic and his strike team, but then its all furking boring politics...or that Claudette and Dutch ******. The formula seems to work there...
