I will give it two more weeks. If it doesn't get better I'm done.

I agree, however it's new I would like to see more action in the first scene instead of the female cop talking about her personal issues. the second half was better. it could be a good program.

Top notch production values. Great character development. Could be a hit.

Are they going to talk about this? http://aclum.org/news_10.18.12

I don't know if it's because I work with BPD a lot through my job, but I was definitely entertained and didn't change the channel during commercial breaks. I do want to know where the cop wanted to get sushi in West Roxbury! I look forward to the next episode.

I thought it was great. I liked the back story of each of the cops, then the reality of what they do on a day to day basis seemed very realistic. I'm going to keep watching!

Did not get to see the show but wanted to know what the financial arrangements are. Do the police officers get paid extra to be on the show? Is the city of Boston being compensated in any way? I am sure the show makes money for its network and producers so just wondering what the city, police department and taxpayers get from their involvement in the show .

Tuned in at 930 and the first few second heard a lot of bleeps. I think it'd be better if they moved it back to ten so they could get rid of the bleeps. (the censors take me out of it)

But I'm intrigued enough to catch it again. The scenery shots are nice to look at.

Ewwww,,,BORING. Amen. Looks like a third rate "reality" show for a local cable channel. I want to find out how Boston cops make $200,000.00 working details. Why they never live within the city limits like their contract obligates them to. How many worthless pot busts and $20 bindles do they try to turn into effective policing? How about the DA's that work with them? The public defenders, the bail bondsmen, the nepotism, the favors, the pols? Give us Boston but don't give us an idealized St. Brendan's Boys' (and Womens') Choir .

Wow - more negative comments than I expected. I know a lot of Boston cops and they're just like you and me - working hard to raise their families, pay their mortgages, and oh yah - keep us safe by fighting a frustrating battle against the never ending bad guys. I enjoyed the show and look forward to next week.

Watched the show and would watch it again. It's so sad to see where people end up through their own fault or no fault of their own. God bless the BPD for keeping the rest of us safe. As for all of you "negative commenters" all I can say is I feel sorry for you that you feel a need to go on and on about "your" ranting and raving. I hate to say it but nobody gives a hoot what you think or say. You just sound like raving lunatics and self-absorbed egomaniacs. Thank you for reading. LOL

Season Finale Spoiler:

Quinn Bill gets repealed and the entire squad goes into rehab.

I think it's an officer safety issue exploiting these officers real names, families, and personal lives. Being a cop myself, I would not want that information readily available to the public. Are these even real officers or actors??

John: are you a mall cop or a college cop?

I watched it last night and it was horrible with no real action, if much at all. Basically blah. Let's hope next week will be better.

Dingleberry, have I arrested you before??

Thank you for the feedback. If the show had as much drama as this discussionm it might survive on network television. No question, everyone in Boston should ask God to bless the BPD early and often. After lots of effort spent correcting mistakes, today our cops generally manage to resist the rampant corruption, bigotry and racism that helps draw viewer's interest to all the succcessfully cop shows. I hope the writers can take a page from our discussion. Best of luck to the NE Patch for graciously hosting this forum.

i'd like to put cameras in those cars without them knowing and see how respectful they act and i know this show is staged because when the female cop arrests the kid on a warrant from the pizza place she said she was calling the bondsman so he could get bailed if he's on gps and probation there is no bail he has to stay in custody until he sees the judge no exceptons. so im calling bullshit on this show

and im sick of the narrator thats clearly never even spoken to anyone with a boston accent tryin to drop his r's just talk like yourself and i hate how they put there little boston comments like wicked awesome ect. id rather see the real bpd pick up a junkie beat him cause they cant find a reason to arrest him then drop em out the van when done it happen trust me ive seen it thats threal bpd

Overpaid, ignorant slobs..

Hey Dahcell...now we talkin' Boston Cop-speak. The fookin faggits gonna run you outta Southie if your hubby don't get out there and bust some heads...he better be takin names and kickin booty. So where da faaak is Louise Day Hicks when we need huh? (Yo Patch guys? Better send this one on to Donnie if you don't have the stones to print it!)

So you can log on to Patch to post comments but cant research any of the assumptions you make in the comments section? Google people, your stupidity is showing.

The boston police, have a hard job. BOSTON is not the city it was 40 yrs ago. I was raised to respect all people. Never had a problem with Boston Cops. my dad and brother are special police. BOSTON COPS work hard, put their life on the line, and get little thanks. Do not do the crime if u can not do the time. I was raised to help the police, we are all eyes and ears, The no snitch code, is a code of losers, bullets do not have names on them.

Matthew Your right , there is no respect for police in general. I do think that most cops are just assholes you have to take the good with the bad. I know one thing the BPD at area 1 are the best. Donnie needs to follow those guy's on a night shift down around China Town to Quincy Market those officers deal with all kinds of lunatics !

Matthew the point being is that they are like you and me , some are good people and some are just assholes and if they stop me and they are assholes , I would never show any disrespect. It's a very hard job no one is disputing that ! it is just that most of them are Assholes. It sounds like your a police officer or ex police officer. I'm sorry for getting you all worked up.
