Michael Imperioli is unarguably a fine, exciting actor and Detroit, without question, is a city endless with unique perspective, YET... in the beginning I was unimpressed. With so much talent and atmosphere to work with, I was confused. In fact, I wondered if the writers were even familiar with Detroit. I had only been there once, but I was knocked sideways and for a loop everywhere I went by the sheer eclectic nature of the place and the people. I wasn't willing to say my expectations were too high. It seemed, to me, something was missing, and it wasn't the actors. In fact, the ethnic scope and sheer talent of the cast certainly seems to reflect the basic socioeconomic communities of this grand city. So, I resigned myself to hope that we might, at some future point, see story lines more congruent with the talent and the town! Moreover, the small snippets of R&B and Blues struck sparks and left voids - I wanted more! That is the language of Detroit

OKAY! I RECANT! It's become grittier, more in tune with the dark side of this great city; and it feels like the Blues in it's various vibes, which is the spirit of Detroit, is becoming more a part of the fabric of each episode. Detroit 1-8-7 is definitely hitting it's stride. 10/27/2010
