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...

Satai Delenn, you made a bunch of strong points. For someone from that time period, that kind of faulty writing is probably gonna be irritating.
I caught a bit of the show last night, but not much... I feel like I'm just predisposed to ignore scripted TV, for the most part. I remember back when "The Walking Dead" disappointed me so badly years ago... that may have served very much as a proverbial last straw for me and scripted television.

No, at first I couldn't tell when the flashbacks were from. Originally, I was assuming that the flashbacks were of a different girl altogether and that the flashbacks weren't flashbacks at all and were occurring in the now (because of the phones they were using). It wasn't until I was able to figure out that it was the one cop's flashbacks that have me assuming it was pre-2000. Why? Because the actress is around my age. So unless they come out in the show and say that the character is much younger than the actress playing her, I have to assume that the character is around my age as well, and that's why I said what I did, and believe that the flashbacks are pre-2000. Further, I came from a family who (unlike me) always needed the latest and greatest in technology. So if those phones were available when I was around the age the girl(s) in the flashback was(were), I'd remember it. And unless kids came from UBER-rich families and were VERY spoiled, kids did not have their own cell phones to carry around like it was no big deal. Most kids went around without any form of communication and had to rely on a public pay phone or a landline at a friend's house to reach their parents. Hell, most kids didn't even have their own computers at home. Most kids' computers were the "family" computer that everyone used.
If I'm wrong, and the flashbacks are post 2000 (like, 2005 or later), and the character is in her early thirties, not her forties, fine. But right now, since the actress is around 40, that means that she would have been in her late teens pre-2000, and as I've said, the phones they showed in the flashbacks did NOT exist then. As far as I'm aware, you couldn't even take a still picture on a cell phone back then, let alone a video, and forget about a video you could put out live for the world to see like the girls in the flashbacks were doing. I don't care if they were in Silicon Valley or not (and I'm just sarcastically saying California in general). Even that area didn't have that kind of technology yet. Maybe they were in the PROCESS of creating it, but no way was it widely available for everyone at that time.
