    Forget the movie this is named after, its a gimmick at best. This series explores more of what I believe the movie was driving to do; a cop that has decided to behave how circumstance has thrown him and regardless, has stayed as a cop.

    Smoothing off some of the rogue cop’s edges, ironically, makes Paxton’s acting job more difficult. He has keep reminding us that he’s contemptuous of many law enforcement standards while at the same time throwing out hints he still harbors some deep and real humanity.Roarke sometimes lurches a little from this balancing act, at least in the early going, and that can throw off other characters as well.

    While viewers might be hesitant to watch Training Day, they might find themselves wanting to give it a chance because of Paxton. They probably should. They just shouldn’t expect it to remind them of the movie.

    TThe writing is stilted, with every other sentence from Rourke's mouth a ready-made movie poster tagline.
