Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for crime-drama fans and action fans. If you loved The Shield or We Own This City, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Dark and gritty.
The pace
2 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, episodes of about 50 minutes, about 13 hours in all.
What might put you off
  • Rated TV-MA: expect violence and drug use.
  • It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.
  • Audiences were cooler on it than critics.

A link in their pasts leads an honest cop to a fugitive gang boss, whose cryptic warning spurs the officer on a quest to save Mumbai from cataclysm.
