This show may have been short-lived but I cannot find a bad thing to say about this series. I wish it lasted another 5 years. The late Tom Sizemore who plays Lt. Sam Cole is the most likeable police detective of the early 2000s. I cannot get enough of the late Tom Sizemore in this show he is everything. Robbery Homicide Division is a show I am going to watch for years to come. The other supporting players were incredible in this show. It is a perfect 10 for me wishing it lasted longer it could have been really successful. Thank you Michael Mann for being involved in a series that is a pure work of art.
I hate to say "I told you So."
CBS just put RHD on "indefinite hiatus", which means it won't be coming back.
It appears that CBS executives liked the show. That is never good news.
RIP RHD, you'll be missed.

It may wear thin but so far two for two. Sizemore's quirks, real issues (so far cops for hire/scandal, gangs), and a very current juxtaposition of that great and tarnished "to protect and serve" enigma work very well.
Even with great casting and good writing, East coast based cop shows are embarrassing predictable and dangerously thin (How big is the L&O franchise now?). And let's can both CSI's - Vegas crime lab as big as Quantico? In Miami, Caruso and Delaney still have those psycho NYPD Blue nauseating 'quiet and tense' personas.
I abhor helicopter MOVIES so I can't explain why I thought the opening episode's 'Air Unit' tracking was so cool as a very routine fact of life in L.A. "Bag 'em" in L.A. is a stun shot, not your gritty and cute 'body bag' line back East. One hairline crack already though.. why didn't they stun him a second round instead of forcing his hand and wasting him on the front lawn??
Thumbs Up! Let's go 4KING20!

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.

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.
