Robbery Homicide Division

I am starting to feel like I am cursed. Every time I like a show it stops airing. I loved RHD and now I cannot watch it because CBS pulled it off the air. I still check to see if they brought it back and it has not been showing (in my area at least) for a month or more. I am very disappointed that this show is no longer being aired. After reading the comments on this site and seeing that a lot of people agree that it was a good show, I cannot believe they took it off the air. CBS is a joke...I mean really, they shove that CSI crap down our throats for two seasons and even went as far as to create a spin off that is even worse and RHD gets cancelled...someone please explain the logic. I hope it returns...I have my fingers crossed.

Robbery Homicide is a television show that should not be missed, Tom Sizemore showing off one of his best performances to date. This show is quite like the Movie HEAT - which was also created by Michael Mann and starred Tom Sizemore (but he was a robber in the film - compared to the lead lieutenat in R.H.D.) The Show is gritty while stile keeping its entertaining edge - no doubt it will keep you watching until the final climax. Great co-star and guest star performances (First Episode starred Mario Van Peebles (who starred in ALI also directed by Michael Mann)). Think of this show similar to NYPD Blue or The Shield - but not as dark and dirty as The SHIELD. Similarities are common in many cop dramas - so you can make your own assumptions on what this show is like! The best part of it all, The CAMERAS are used very well and precise- showing exactly the right thing at the right time.

This show doesn't stand a chance.

It has everything. A great cast, excellent music and beautiful photography. It has nothing that will allow it to survive on CBS.

Another great show that had everything going for it was also on CBS. "EZ Streets" didn't last a full season. I don't expect RHD to last long either unless they somehow find a way to vote off members of the cast.

RHDLA is was a great series by the director of Miami Vice and Crime Story. Tom Sizemore leads a credible cast of middle aged detectives in a variety of stories. Ironically, it was Sizemore who in real life got on the wrong side of the law after beating up longtime girlfriend and ex-Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss during a cocaine and viagra fueled binge. So much for the real drama being on the screen.

This is a series from the director of Miami Vice and Crime Story, and the general feel is of a mix of the two, which is why it is a don't miss for fans of either series.

I don't know how much Sizemore's personal demons had an impact on the show, but they can't have helped and it ended far too soon.

It lasted only one and a half season (13 episodes), which is unfortunate. Try and catch it if you can - convoluted, action packed, and pulling relatively few punches - this show is highly recommended.

Robbery Homicide Division is the best new show of this season. I hope, i really hope, that it doesn't get canceled. Even the best shows are given little chance to grow these days if their ratings aren't immediately impressive. RHD has a great look, the high definition video is perfect for the subject matter. Yes, this is the TV version of Heat. Tom Sizemore is absolutely perfect. The pilot was amazing. I can't say enough good things about this show. It shows you a glimpse of the reality of being a cop in LA. Forget Boomtown, forget The Shield (well, maybe not The Shield) this is the real deal.
