TV show description:
This crime thriller series is based on the feature film of the same name and picks up some 15 years later.
Detective Frank Rourke (Bill Paxon) is the maverick head of the Special Investigation Section (SIS) that hunts the city’s most dangerous criminals. He’s also one of the finest investigators the department has ever produced.
However, when the LAPD brass notices Rourke’s penchant for operating in a gray area to fight the war on crime, they assign Kyle Craig (Justin Cornwell), a heroic and untarnished cop, to pose as Frank’s trainee to spy on him and report on his off-book methods.
The members of Frank’s loyal team include Rebecca Lee (Katrina Law), a formidable officer with killer aim and a dark past, and Tommy Campbell (Drew Van Acker), a former pro surfer who follows Frank’s orders without hesitation.
The team’s cases find Frank and Kyle often crossing paths with Detective Valeria Chavez (Christina Vidal), one of the LAPD’s top investigators. Providing Frank with intel is his girlfriend, Holly Butler (Julie Benz) — a well-connected, unapologetic Hollywood madam.
While LAPD Deputy Chief Joy Lockhart (Marianne Jean-Baptiste) coolly puts Kyle in danger in her mission to take down Frank, Kyle’s schoolteacher wife, Alyse (Lex Scott Davis), worries her husband’s resolve to avenge the murder of his cop father may be his undoing.
As Frank starts teaching his principled trainee the way of the streets — where the ends often justify the means — they form an uneasy alliance that will change the course of both their lives irrevocably.
Episode #13 — Elegy, Part 2
Kyle, Tommy and Rebecca must rescue Frank when he goes on a rogue mission to Mexico to locate intel linked to the murder of Kyle’s father.
First aired: May 20, 2017.
What do you think? Do you like the Training Day TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Bill Paxton died on February 25, 2017.
Please don’t cancel,just started watching, I am hooked, Love it! love it! love it!!
Loved bill paxton one of the best stars in hollywood it would be great to do the show without him but in a way that honors his memory!
Bill was in every movie that i felt was great !
From chet in weird science to aliens & preditor a great performance !
A good show with him and it could go on and pay homage to him
I think It was a good show. Love to see justice prevail.
I think Don Johnson would be a great replacement for Paxton’s character.
This show was unique and I hate to see it end. Bill Paxton was perfect for this role, and it needs to continue in his honor. I think Adam Baldwin who had a guest spot as a rouge cop on the Castle tv show would be a great replacement.
Why is it that the best shows are cancelled. My husband and looked forward to this every week. I am sure Bill Paxton would want the show to continue. Please find a replacement for Bill’s character and put this show back on.
This was a really great show. Very entertaining and well acted by all participants and somehow should be continued even with the loss of Bill. In fact by keeping it going they could show their appreciation for his talents and energy,
I think it could have gone on, and please don’t get me wrong no one could have replaced Bill, but I think they could have had his caractor get killed and the younger guy gogne on as the mentor or something along those lines. I loved the show and both the show and Bill will be missed.
I think Bill would want the show to go on without him, but I also think he would want the perfect replacement so not to ruin the show. I say put it back on in Honor of Bill Paxton.
The show needs to go on, but it has to be someone very special to replace Bill Paxton. Someone like Liam Neeson or Nicholas Cage, you know, someone with the same character traits in acting. Bill Paxton was perfect for the show. It broke my heart when he died. He was one of a kind! Love Ya Bill! You will be greatly missed. R.I.P. you bad Ass! 🙂 <3
My contaminants exactly.
Sentiments
Hope the show continues with a new star to replace Bill Paxton. It will be hard to do but doable. Enjoyed it immensely and hope to see it back!
Loved the show, shame about Bill Paxton, he was fab and bit hard to replace. Keep Show
KEEP Training Day, I loved it! You can get someone else to play Bill Paxton’s part even though he was so look great at it!
The show should continue to a conclusion.
