The show opens with a historical background of the main character. From there, it goes to in your face police car chase action. A good opening that sets the tone of the pilot and reveals just enough to keep you wanting more.
The show, if it's anything like the pilot, has many good qualities to it in terms of plot. The premise is that a cross-agency Gang Task Force has been put together by the L.A.P.D, under the leadership of the L.A.P.D. This in itself is already an interesting plot point, and on top of that more intrigue is inserted later in the pilot.
As far as casting goes, Cliff Curtis does his good old Cartel/Gang leader bid as well as he always does. Terry 'O Quinn is still a bit difficult to buy as a Police Captain. People will complain about RZA's accent, or even his very presence. I honestly do not have an issue with it. He plays the role aptly, and so does every one in the show. For the most part.
This show has potential, but can easily go wrong, as with all Cop Dramas. But seeing as it isn't that entirely, perhaps there is a place in the TV world for this one.
