I look forward to seeing Detroit 187 each week. The characters are so well defined & interesting. The show is more about them..then any crime they are solving. I love the way they follow each partner on their separate investigations and the interaction between each character. I really do not have a favorite character because each one is so well defined. I look forward to finding out more about each one as the show progresses.
Also love seeing the views of a City that was once Grand..the Old Mansonsthat are now in need to rehab are so interesting.
BUT where is my show? It wasn't on last week and I am worried they might have moved to another time...or were canceled. Please keep this show on the air.

I lived in the heart of the Detroit for 21yrs and I still live close by. This show has great potential! And I think that will show in the coming episodes that are shot completely in Detroit and surrounding communities(most of the pilot was shot in Atlanta). It's great to have a show that's set in a city like Detroit and not your typical NY, LA, SF, Chicago, or Miami. To let everyone know, from local news stories on the production of the show, the director is from Detroit and everything (since the pilot) is shot, and produced right here in Detroit. Yes there were a few minor "mistakes" in the pilot I seen people complain about, saying "soda" we call it "pop", and there is no bullet train, but these are very minor things that can't be faulted when all we've seen was the pilot episode. Minor fixes for what I honestly believe will be a great show that is TRUE TO DETROIT because it is being MADE IN DETROIT! Please give it the chance it deserves!
A Detroit-er I am not; a West Michigan-der, I am. Started watching this from episode three (missed the first two), and I am blown away.
Hallelujah Detroit AND Michigan. I'd heard only rumors all summer 2010 that Detroit was trying to ground a "Law n Order" cop series. Suddenly every MI actor had "stars" in their eyes, wanting to be part of it. Finally we have a NETWORK success.
Granted it doesn't have the full 'grit' the long-running LAO does, but who says it has to? This show stands on its own. The fine cast, the writing, the production... And I love the docu-style shooting (filming). Keeps the audience part of the action.
If this series keeps going as it is, what other TV successes could be in store for Detroit (AND Michigan!)

We all love Michael and always will. He's been working in films and TV for many, many years and has given his all.
The show is very entertaining and will probably get better as the characters grow.
Non-Detroiters would like the show to be grittier. I've heard some from Detroit say we need to see Detroit shine in this series. It's a drama and a cop show, we want to see the seedy side of Detroit. Make the good people good but keep the bad guys bad.
And, yes, it needs something to set it apart from other cop shows. Give us that, please. You're lucky enough to have Michael Imperioli; don't mess this up.

Yes, there are an overabundance of crime shows on Television.
Yes, I'm sure there is some skepticism as to whether the loyal fans of this show are truly commenting on show quality or just looking for some local publicity...
But this show is great. Really.
The acting is superb, the story lines are endearing, interesting, and unique, and they mix a good deal of intelligent comedy with drama. The character development is fantastic- as intricate as an indie movie. And the location provides a refreshing diversion from the typical crime show locales into something more gritty and real.
I watched this show with someone who was pretty resistant to "another cop show" and he now watches regularly... calling it "the best crime show I've seen in a long time"
