    I didn't give it a chance and I am sorry for that. I wish it wasn't canceled. But this is true to life networks keep the crap and cancel really good shows like this. Will be missed.

  • Do the viewer's opinions really matter?????

    We watched this on Netflix. When it unexpectedly ended we were shocked! We just knew this show would've continued on because it is such an amazing and well written show with an excellent cast that, to us, casts people of an average look, not the perfect Barbie and Ken look alikes you see in all these cop shows (i.e. Chase).
    Well, I guess they did us a favor with at least ending it with a satisfying ending and not something to keep you hanging on, like most of them do. Ugh.

    WE WILL MISS YOU GUYS AT DETROIT 187! We will especially miss the episodes. Shame on these networks for cancelling such amazing shows!!!!! But then, why am I NOT surprised.moreless

    A real loss for fans who love good cop shows. This show and Southland were the two best cop dramas for 2011 and both were cut. After speaking to a few down under folks, they say they were cut in favor of fans who like reality t.v. These are the same yuppies who started watching Survivor because they live every day in a bubble and think they can get educated by watching fake reality shows. The irony of it is that the reality shows are not real and the fiction dramas are about as close to reality as you can get. The rest of us simple minded clones watch t.v. for entertainment and realize that it doesn't get more real than downtown Detroit or L.A.. Please put Detroit 1-8-7 and Southland back on. Maybe enough people will see the truth and want to do something to stop it.

    Great show, hope it stays on for more seasons...

    It's becoming really frustrating to start watching a show, get cought up in it, and then seeing it gets canceled.

    The reason most people probably don't watch new shows is just because of this - they wait to see if a show has at least a 2nd season before starting to watch.

    If the producers or whoever pays the bill doesn;t have faith on a show, don't start it to begin with. I think the min should be at least 2 seasons, that would give (I think) a more accurate indication on how it's doing.

    I would have posted all this in another place rather than in the shows review, but didn't find any...moreless

    This show is(was) GREAT. If you jump in mid-season you wont get it.

    The location itself is one of the best characters and of course the exquisite storyline which allows for the development of each character. This is similar to Dexter which has a lot of sub stories developing while using the location as its grand canvas of interlocking sub plots and twists.

    I recommend watching this just to see the Fitch character develop from a obsessed detective to a charming father with all the internal conflicts involved.

    The other detectives are really well portrayed with everyone having their personal dramas run alongside the crimes they investigate.moreless
