Detective Lieutenant Everett Backstrom is a man with no filter. After a five-year exile to the traffic division for offensive behavior, he has returned from disgrace to lead Portland's newly minted S.C.U.

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
jimforjunk I could barely make it through the first episode, but I'm glad I did. I find the show consistently entertaining and full of humor. Gradually, a depth of heart is revealed. The characters become real despite the somewhat tongue-in-cheek nature of the series.I'm hoping that there will be a next season. I really don't want to write 10 lines. I don't have that much to say. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog's back. Hi diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle. The cow jumped over the moon. I doubt it. I've been on dairy farms. I haven't really seen a lot of jumping in the old cow corral. Although, I, myself, jumped when I saw a bull heading my way. Up the lazy river in the noon day sun. The lazy lazy river ... blah blah. I was born this way do do do. If I just keep typing, eventually it will say that my review is now ready for submission.
shevlinka This show is funny and I hope someone picks it up ...It is a good show compared to all the reality shows and deserves a chance .It would probably have higher ratings if the time slot was changed and it played another day .But it is definitely worth the time to watch . Instead of all the squeaky clean characters that normally appear on cop shows this one has real people who have screwed up and are trying to get their lives back together along with keeping their jobs and they actually work great as a team . Hopefully some station realizes that is a great way to have a show and decides to take a chance and grab it. They would probably find out it being followed by a lot more people than the networks show.
kimbelsey In this world full of political correctness.. without being a truly offensive character,he has all the both mental and physical faults rolled into one that I have come to expect in detective character reading and shows, and yet refreshing, still very funny and entertaining. A great supporting cast of odd balls that just seem to work .Loved Rainn Wilson in "The Rocker"and plays this part like he owns it. Disappointingly Low viewing figures for Fox USA, but it will grow on you. Sell this to sky Atlantic, I like this more than Castle and even the mentalist,both have dried up.Even criminal minds has run out of plots.Gothams so Dark..Please grow this one on ,its got more to give I am sure.
Gigles0927 I love this show. Like another person also said, it is kind of a mix between House and Columbo.But updated. I like the banter that goes on. I hope this show continues.I like the variety of characters. I also like the suggestion of secrets in some of their lives. I can not wait to find out some of them.I hope they do not run out of ideas for shows.I am missing you this week. Anxiously awaiting next weeks show! Keep it up! Your fan base is growing.
