    Too bad. I liked this show. It was like "The Rookie", but attempted as a someone serious and realistic TV cop show. And I liked the 30-minute
    episode format too.

    There is no hope this show will find another home - in the current TV environment that pretty much never happens (and when it does, it's only
    when a studio is producing a TV show for a rival network and then can
    move it to their in-house TV network - e.g. "9-1-1"). The days of TV
    shows jumping networks(/streamers) is long over.

    I like this show too and was looking forward to further seasons. The
    article is less pessimistic about the prospects of it finding a new home
    on another network than you are; I hope that happens. Dick Wolf is a
    heavy hitter in the industry so even if one streamer says no to him, I
    expect others might say yes.

    I don’t think I got past the first episode. I couldn’t handle McProbie’s sister looking so old and ragged. Much less Marella Airwolf’s daughter. Or Spencer Hastings, bitches.
