Love the program. Keep it going, especially after the first season cliffhanger!
Absolutely. Great show that has some heart.
I love this show. It is the only one I get sent to my iPhone to watch so I make sure I don’t miss an episode. The acting is good, it is drama and comedy, the characters are well developed and it is not male dominated.
Absolutely would love more episodes
Love this show… even if it’s kind of ridiculous at times. Glad to see Nathan and Melissa on screen again (but I still miss Dark Matter).
I do watch this show. I like it and will continue to watch !
Yes I watch it and want many more seasons
Trash!! Not consistent with what a day in the real life of an LAPD Officer!
Who cares? I watch TV to be entertained. If I wanted to watch a documentary…I would.
Can’t we have something light for a change?
