- Made for anyone who loves a strong character drama. If you loved Fargo, start here.

- The pace
- 1 season: a few weeks of evenings, hour-long episodes, about 11 hours in all.
- What might put you off
- Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.
- It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.
Los Angeles police officers and detectives investigate crimes, navigate internal corruption, and burst into spontaneous, choreographed musical numbers.
