I wish someone in charge, Producers???, would take Julian McMahon by the hand a teach him how to properly hold a handgun. I don’t know your target audience, but those who follow law enforcement programs have a higher standard than what this show is delivering.
Of course it should be renewed!! It is wonderful and the only program so far that incorporates Native Americans as regular human beings!!
