Discuss L.A.'s Finest

You know with Bad Boys 3 around the corner, and this being a spin off show, I dont understand why a bigger network didnt pick this show up. 2 hot actresses....err mediocre actresses....ok maybe i'll come back after i watch the first 3 episodes . Maybe then I'll know my own answer...

It just started in Canada. Not that impressed right now but I will give it time. Syd is a little too "bad ass" and it's not believable. I like Nancy's back story and want to see how her husband deals with it when he finds out.

Watched the first ep, which was OK - but not as much fun as the trailer promised. Always been something I'd rather watch since then, but may revisit it later.

Is there a consensus on this yet? Hell, I don't even know where I can see the show. Any info would be appreciated.

Still always had something better to watch!

Something better to watch than Jessica Alba?

I watched the first season on Spectrum On-Demand and the second season is supposed to drop today. It's pretty mediocre but it does star 2 of the hottest women on the planet, so there's that.

Well now season 2 has been delayed until some time later this year.

Might give me time to watch more of S1 to make a "continue" decision. TBH, if it had two ugly ladies as the stars I probably wouldn't have watched the second ep.

Surprised by the delay, given that many broadcasters are going into Repeatsville due to lack of content.

The arrival of S2 prompted La Famille LeMarchand to give the show one more go (S01E03).

Consensus was to drop it. It's slick and the ladies are beautiful, but there is so much better stuff that we're struggling to find time to watch that we'd rather spend the hour watching something that was great rather than merely "entertaining".

I might watch an episode....

Good show! I might keep tuning into Fox to see it.

SPOILERS AHEAD FOR ANYONE WHO HAS NOT YET WATCHED THE SECOND EPISODE OF THIS SHOW

Well, I must say that I find this show extremely confusing. I watched the first episode, which I didn't find so bad, but the second episode? I was SO confused. I just watched it tonight as it only just aired this past Tuesday. Anyway, it took me almost the entire episode to understand that I was watching flash backs of Alba's character from her supposed teenage years? The reason I have an issue with this, is because I don't know how old her character is supposed to be, but in real life she's 39 years old, and this led to my confusion regarding what was going on. Why? Because of the technology being used to record the murdered girl. If Alba's character is supposed to be in her late 30s now, well, I'm sorry, but those kinds of phones did not exist twenty years ago. So that kind of technology did not exist 20 years ago. You could talk on a cell phone, but there were no cameras or recording abilities, and I don't remember there being texting, either. Cell phones were still just cell phones. This is why I was so confused. I thought the murder occurred in this episode, not twenty years ago and that means I thought the girl with this Dante guy was in her teens now and did not understand that this was supposed to be Alba's character as a kid. I even rewound parts of the episode to try and figure out what I was missing and not understanding and I'm sorry, but I don't think this was me. I think this is sadly, the writing for this show, and possibly the directing. Things are just not always clear and if this keeps up, I'm not sure how long I'll continue watching. I'm trying to give it a serious chance because I love Gabrielle Union and Ernie Hudson (I'm not familiar with anything this Jessica Alba person has done), but it's really got to make an effort to get better and be more clear in what's going on.

Thanks for the recap. I've missed a few episodes, but I caught last night's one. I wondered if the quite young girl was Nancy as a kid myself. I'm enjoying Gabrielle and Ernie too -- anything that features the black Ghostbuster will have my interest, ha ha ha!!!

You're welcome. It's just irritating because it's like the writers are of today's generation and did absolutely no ground/historical work to even TRY to get the context or technology of the times correct. I grew up during the era of pay phones. I remember the daughter of the owner of the camp I attended for the summers carrying around a GIANT cordless phone (it was debatable to call it "portable" and if you ever saw these phones, you'd know what I am talking about). She used to have to carry it in a giant sewing bag with other things like business folders and such to justify carrying the giant phone with the equally giant antenna around. So it was like the mid to late 90s before "modern" cell phones of the times became small enough to comfortably carry (and pay phones were still around), and I guarantee they did NOT have cameras, nor could you text on them. They were simply portable PHONES and that's it. It wasn't until some time after the millenium began that cell phones capable with texting BEGAN coming out, and only THEN did companies begin putting cameras in them.

Could you tell if the flashbacks in episode 2 took place before or after 2000?
