Division d'élite

I watched quite a few of these because looking at San Francisco is no huge challenge to my sensibilities. Unfortunately after almost no time at all you realise that the windows are blinds drawn or strongly backlit the outdoor scenes are shot at a low angle to obscure any horizon details and indoor locations abound, in fact the sum total of SF location in these seems to be cable car bells and words painted on restaurant windows. The show itself has some of the most PC plots I have ever seen - the white guy Always did it, cheer as the peppy black cop shots the villain three times in the chest. The captain looks like a particularly cheerless transgender experiment. Basically a dreary feel-bored family hour that looks much less attractive than Nash Bridges (hence very little merit that I have spotted so far).

Lifetime outdid themselves by giving The Division another year on the air. Lifetime has proven that they as well as Viacom can produce such outstanding shows like The Division. The new add ons to the cast really brighten up the second season and the scripts have been as a whole excellent. Keep the current cast as it is and don't change a thing!

It's great to see Lifetime branching out into stronger material. The "Women in peril" theme gets old after awhile - even for women viewers!

I like that Lifetime continues to pay attention to its core demographic without pandering to us. Well-made dramas like this and "Any Day Now" would be a credit to any network, and definitely strengthen the Lifetime lineup.

The gist: 5 female cops in San Francisco and their problems and adventures. Bonnie Bedelia, Lela Rochon, Tracey Needham, Nancy McKeon, and Lisa Vidal star in this series that is headed for doom while on the Lifetime network. Seeing the network, the episodes will most likely revolve around the whole "woman-in-peril" subplot. McKeon is a talented actress, as are the others, and shouldn't subject themselves to doing nothing except "woman-in-peril" stuff. This series might fare better on NBC, whose new season was met with insufficient failures. This show is ok, just needs a new network.

This series brought Lifetime its biggest debut ratings in the network's history easily cracking the top 15 in the Nelsen's Ratings. Besides that, I'm sure the Division would soar on NBC or CBS but where ever it is its an awesome show...and its not too girly either, there's lots of action and intense situations (so far). And each week it just gets better. Its got awesome, interesting characters who are well crafted and very well acted! Anyway, in my opinion, this show is among the best dramas on tv currently!! I highly recommend it to anybody.
