Detroit 1-8-7

We all love Michael and always will. He's been working in films and TV for many, many years and has given his all.

The show is very entertaining and will probably get better as the characters grow.

Non-Detroiters would like the show to be grittier. I've heard some from Detroit say we need to see Detroit shine in this series. It's a drama and a cop show, we want to see the seedy side of Detroit. Make the good people good but keep the bad guys bad.

And, yes, it needs something to set it apart from other cop shows. Give us that, please. You're lucky enough to have Michael Imperioli; don't mess this up.

I have watched all of season 1 and have to say I absolutely LOVE this show! I am a big fan of crime-drama type TV (CSI, Law & Order) and this is my favorite of all of them. The filming style is so realistic and the characters are complex and multi-dimensional. I haven't seen a series this "real" since Hill Street Blues.

When we first meet the primary character, Fitch, it seems like he might spend the rest of the series as the weird, slightly off cop. I was worried the character would end up like Monk...a sort of savant with no social skills. As the episodes pass, we learn more about him and understand why he is so careful to avoid deeper connections with those around him. Layer after layer is revealed and we find an amazing example of a well-developed character.

All of the characters in this show are well crafted and all of the actors do a superb job with the roles. There are no trite plot developments...which is shocking considering how many crime drama episodes are already in existence.

I hope this series is renewed!

This show hits the mark. It kind of sneaked in on me as I don't recall any build ups for the show beforehand but it really caught my eye from the first minutes of the first episode. I couldn't wait for the next one. When it comes to reality this is the best cop show on TV. If you want stories, technology, and beautiful people that are nothing like policing then watch any of the others. Detroit 187 doesn't go all the way but it comes closer by far than anything else on the market. I hope it does well in the ratings and lasts a long time (like the old "law and order" show). The settings, the lighting, the camera angles, the story lines and the lives of the characters really project where its at considering each episode has to be presented (commercials include) in an hours time. They sure picked the right people to write, direct and produce this gem. I hope they stay on. Congratulations.

I'm thoroughly impressed with Detroit 1-8-7. This show is much more down to earth than any other cop show out there. The attention it brings to a true American ghetto like Detroit is astounding. It sounds ridiculous, but I truly believe that shows like this one that encourage people to take back their city can really make a difference. I've even heard that this show is really boosting Detroit's economy.

Coming from the Rust Belt myself (Milwaukee native), I love seeing a setting I can actually relate to, instead of flashy cities like New York, L. A., or Miami all the time. Plus, the Fitch character is freaking fantastic.

ABC better not cancel this show. It's awesome. I think it'll catch on for sure if they give it enough time.

I look forward to seeing Detroit 187 each week. The characters are so well defined & interesting. The show is more about them..then any crime they are solving. I love the way they follow each partner on their separate investigations and the interaction between each character. I really do not have a favorite character because each one is so well defined. I look forward to finding out more about each one as the show progresses.

Also love seeing the views of a City that was once Grand..the Old Mansonsthat are now in need to rehab are so interesting.

BUT where is my show? It wasn't on last week and I am worried they might have moved to another time...or were canceled. Please keep this show on the air.
