    Develiker terrible... so disappointed.
    ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
    Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
    Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
    sallympg This show was a breath of fresh air in the midst of pointless and scripted "reality" shows as well as the numerous male dominated cop shows. It had a great cast, many of which were newcomers and a great storyline that always left you waiting for more. Abby goes into internal affairs a temporary position as she awaits a detective spot to open and ends up really finding her place in IA. Her family is a close knit family in Chicago and makes you feel like you are one of them while watching. Plus, the love triangle that Abby gets herself into is a fun side plot to watch. All the characters are interesting and all the stories leave you wanting more. It is a great show and great job to Lifetime for airing such a great story.
    roelin I like the way of acting. I also like the story line with the i.a. cases but also with the family matters. I disagree with another reviewer: sex is part of life and in this series it is good, beautiful and it belongs to the age and way of life of the main character. Especially the end of part 5 when mother and daughter are chatting to each other touches my heart. Good acting, good story lines, go on!!! The main character does a good job, but also her colleague who is pregnant, is a very good character. The role of the father is a special one. With such a daughter, who chooses her own path he has his problems, but I see he starts to understand and accept the way of life of his daughter. I hope this series will go on on the same level. Often this series become quickly mechanical. I hope that will not happen here.
    jul-brown This show is very disappointing. It is full of casual sex scenes. I think the female lead character has a real sex addiction problem. I don't care if she is 30 yrs. old, we don't need to see her having casual sex, ever. What ever happened to mystery, and leaving things to the imagination? I thought having Kathy Baker and Treat Williams in the show would bring class, but apparently they will take any role. The concept and idea are interesting and the acting is pretty good. I am also from Chicago so I was happy to see the Chicago scenes and references in the dialog. It could have been a really good show, as the crime stories have been pretty interesting and the family dynamics are good. Unfortunately, the creators of the show apparently get their thrills watching the female lead half-naked acting out sexual situations. If there are actually people who act like that, I don't want to know about it and no one needs to watch it on TV.
    sad-eyed-angel I've read a lot of bad reviews and honestly, I don't understand where the hostility is coming from. From what I've seen of this show, I like it and it keeps me coming back each week. Being someone who watches Lifetime semi regularly, my curiosity was piqued when I kept seeing promos for their new show and I watched the pilot and was impressed. The premise is a Chicago woman takes an opening in Internal Affairs when her father and three older brothers are all blue-collar cops and are upset with her when they find about her new job. I found this show interesting and this is from someone who doesn't watch a lot of crime TV. What makes it interesting isn't necessarily the crime aspect or prominent eye candy (although there are some cuties to be seen) but because of the story and the characters themselves. It is believable that they are a real family rather than just actors and the way they relate to each other makes their family dynamic believable. So far the stories have been interesting enough to keep me coming back and I hope this stays around for a while.
