Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
andrea_n7246 I'm with others....this was/is an amazing show...NBC really dropped the ball with this, at least give us the DVD!! I happened to catch Third Watch by chance during its 5th season, while randomly flipping through channels, during the episode "A Call for Help". I instantly fell in love with this show and began watching it almost religiously. The acting was raw, and this was honestly good TV. I have seen every episode of this series. I thought it would live on even through A&E but we've been robbed of that too. I am still in love with this show, and I support the actors as well, I check up on IMDb what their into and I make sure to catch the episode/movie etc. Third Watch is awesome and I will forever be a fan.
lekkerland In one of the last episodes, Cruz tells that it is indeed leukemia that is killing her, not some STD given to her in some rape, like the other commenter has speculated. She seeks some unorthodox, holistic care from some dancing folks.The series might've been better had the last episode featured a unicorn flying down from the sky with a monopoly board tattooed on its side, and a flag of some sort being dragged behind it. Then the unicorn could've swooped up Cruz, and taken her to some sort of lake where she escapes the vile life of New York and magically heals herself. Or maybe it was pretty good how it ended for real.
amanduh331 Third Watch will be remembered as NBC's secret stunner. For 6 seasons this show persevered through several slot changes and a lack of promotion by the network. While NBC spent most of their time promoting all of the Law and Order Series, their must see comedies, and lack luster reality series, Third Watch remained largely in the shadows of the network. Still, this show managed to bring viewers to the edge of their seats every week and kept their plot lines fresh, intriguing, and emotionally appealing. The cast went through small changes but remained mostly intact up until it's fifth season. Regardless, the talent on this show would rival any other on NBC or any network, even cable channels which are usually known for their own breakthrough television. Third Watch was a fish out of water on a network that never realized what it had. The faithful fans followed the show relentlessly and hopefully after the series ends more fans will be gained through release of the seasons on DVD. I recommend this show for those who not only love good television, but also love great film making. The show is visually stunning and puts new angles on the traditional cop show format. Maybe it wouldn't be as special if NBC had ever given it the recognition it truly deserved. Third Watch, I believe, will go down in history not as just another cop drama, but as a show that encompassed what it really means to be a police officer, fireman, and paramedic on any street in America and also show everyone that not all of those people are perfect and righteous. On Third Watch, as in real life, there are good guys and bad guys. This show gave you a view into the worlds of both groups.
Anthony Guarino I saw the episode family ties part II and I must say while Law and Order often imitates real life situations, this show tries to emulate "City By The Sea" with Robert DeNiro too closely to enjoy it. The whole time I'm saying to myself, what a joke! Almost every single part of the plot in this episode can be found in City By the Sea. The only thing different is that the guy Michael's brother is the cop that tries to help him and not the father. The bad guy's name is "Spider" in this and "Spyder" in the movie! You couldn't even pick a different name guys, how lazy are you? As a matter of fact, this is literally the fairytale version of City By The Sea >> everything works out in the end for everybody and the bad guys gets blown away (As a matter of fact, a black guy, a white guy, and a Spanish guy are the bad guys who all get shot, that is political correctness at its most pretentious if you ask me).While I love Johnny Sack, they should have just "bit the bullet" (no pun intended) and asked Bobby DeNiro to be on the show, just to make it more true to City By The Sea.Very disappointed in this episode and whoever wrote it... I know it's hard to be original nowaday's, but this is just low. Did this show go off the air yet, because it deserves to be replaced by something of importance, like Britney Spear's True Newlyweds Story on UPN!
