Great show!

Normally these kind of shows bore me, but this one, I really thoroughly enjoyed. I started watching the series purely because of Michael Imperioli. He's probably one of the most criminally underrated actors of all time. His body movements and his emotions on screen are magnetic when the crucial scenes come on.

I'm glad they chose a different city for the show to be set in other than New York. Bringing up the infamous Detroit riots and how it damaged the city, and the sad facts that its one of the most violent cities in the States with gritty violence and situations renders the series electrifying and keep you wanting for more and more every day.

The rest of the cast did really well too. I especially liked Natalie Martinez, stunningly beautiful and tough as nails at the same time.

So I honestly don't know why they canceled it. The show had more potential than a lot of the series shown today, and could have gone much further. Maybe it was because in the final episode, where Fitch puts his demon to rest, they thought it could go as far as it could. But I don't see it that way. I really do hope it can be picked up by another channel, but it seems unlikely. But as they say, never say never.
