Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for crime-drama fans. If you loved Line of Duty or American Crime Story, start here.
The mood: Dark and gritty.
The pace: 4 seasons: a few months of evenings, episodes of about 44 minutes, about 28 hours in all.
What might put you off: Rated TV-MA: meant for adults.

The day-to-day life of two unwilling partners of the Montreal Police Department, Officers Nick Barron and Ben Chartier. These two beat cops patrol the urban sprawl of downtown's 19th district, in cruiser No. 2. 19-2 is about the tensions and bonds that develop between two incompatible men of very different temperaments and life experiences. Over time, Nick and Ben's mistrust and antagonism for each other give way to moments of mutual respect and a wavering chance at a true partnership.
