I never for one moment thought about these characters as anything other than the people they were playing. I can't think of another series played more realisticly than this one.
After the first showing of each new episode, I stalked the channel for repeats in different time slots and sat thru the whole thing again like I hadn't even seen it just 2 or 3 days before.
First time I ever watched anything all the way through with Andre Braugher and berated myself for not watching his other series.
I was haunted for weeks at a time by the visual setups with Will Yun Lee. Never an actore moved more gracefully than he. Man, he deserves his own show. Give him a series he could carry it! All that mysterious Chinese cultural reference-Whew!Gimme more!
I grieved when I finally realized it wasn't coming back after the first episodes! I would have watched this over Sopranos any day.
Would love to know more-how it came to happen as a project. I fell in love with Malik having not seen his other work-the guy can do comedy beautifully!
This has to go down in the books as a one of a kind classic.
I can kind of see why some of the posters are down on it, but for me it works as a literary kind of show-something really rare on TV, but as good as reading a great book. No way it can be compared to Jerry Bruckheimer and Dick Wolfe type stuff, guys! Apples and oranges,
