Watching it on Channel 7 too. And as I type this this is going on in my county: http://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/w...rstorm%20watch
That really is a pretty good sound track.
sucking so far, they need to use real street names and locations.
So far it looks like much of it will pass NW of the areaAnd as I type this this is going on in my county: http://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/w...rstorm%20watch

Though I'm not sure how it's relevant to the show.
They showed that the bullet train criminal lived on "Elmerton Ave." There is no street in Detroit named Elmerton. Elmerton Avenue is a real street in the Pennsylvania capital.
But some scenes WERE filmed in Detroit. Like the scene of the cop car driving down Franklin Street towards the Ren Cen.
There is this scene where there is a criminal on Temple near Cass. That looked nothing like that area AT all.

The pace of the show is off. The jokes are not funny and the scenes are not dramatic enough. I don't think it will last the season.
What? Yeah, all over, people are just capitalizing on Detroit's downfall.
If you ask me, the outside world's jaw would hit the floor upon merely perusing this board [[Scrappers? Really, scrappers?). So I don't really "get" that statement.
I have said it before, I'll say it again: No way this hurts Detroit. Detroit homicide cops are arresting murderers?
LOL, the dude ran off with the playground equipment to which he was handcuffed.

Sigh.... it's not keeping my interest. I don't believe these characters. I DEFINITELY didn't believe that one suspect who confessed after the cop's staring match? Seriously?: I mean it would take more than that for even me to crack and I'm not going to jail for anybody.
Is the People Mover supposed to be the Bullet Train?
And the people who said this show was so good, what did they actually see? It couldn't have been anything from this episode.

Probably will be better when they show the episodes filmed in Detroit.
Who in Metro Detroit says "da burbs?" It sounds very hollywood-esque.
That was a new one to me, since most people typically just say in the suburbs [[or SE Michigan)...
I'm watching it and I will give it a pass because it is the pilot which was filmed in Atlanta and it still has the documentary style that they originally wanted the show to be. Since they changed the format and it will be filmed in Detroit I would imagine it will open the show up to have a personal relationship with Detroit. We will see.
Helicopters in Detroit, lol Kwame killed aviation.
They need to hire a Detroiter for their writing team just to go over "localisms." People on my FB friendslist are screaming about the use of "soda" instead of pop. Are they not using some of our local slang because it might confuse the national audience, though? People sometimes still don't know what we're referring to when we say "pop" in other parts of the country...
It was okay but had some weak acting. Hope it gets better!
I for one thought that it was fairly believable, in a non-Detroit way. I thought the characters were good. I'll give it a few more looks, basically for the fact that there is nothing on broadcast or cable TV at that time of day, besides Fox 2 News, and I'm about sick of them anyway.
One of their writers IS from Detroit. And from his story from within the city limits...They need to hire a Detroiter for their writing team just to go over "localisms."

Oh yeah, for the record, the comment by the cop guarding the police line at the pharmacy...
"If we stop them here, we won't have to stop them in Ferndale" was classic.
^ Oh. I didn't even catch the "soda" reference... I'm sure Detroiters will definitely be giving them feedback, though!
It's definitely not The Wire, but I didn't think it was that bad. I don't have very high expectations for network TV, so I was pleasantly surprised.
I've seen worse but it was really dramatic. More of the city would be good, I had read they shot most of the show in Detroit but I don't think they did much outside of downtown in that episode.
It wasn't as bad as I'd expected it to be. Loft district?
