Cutting.

Why is everyone suddenly talking about this show when it's had two seasons? Did the slash hit critical mass or something?

I couldn't take it and the Hey, Don't Judge Me recap lured me in (here, so funny), so I got the first episode today, watched it without E who was worried it would be too gory, assured her it wasn't and caught her up in about ten seconds and we blew through episodes 2-4 this afternoon.

DO NOT SPOIL ME.

Did anyone else watch the pilot for this? It was a little heavy-handed and clunky in places but I always cut pilots some slack and I did enjoy it enough to want to watch it again.

Premise: two cops, both brilliant, at each others throats, in couples counseling to save their partnership.

The amusing bit is that the coroner is Samantha from The Sentinel (Alicia Coppola) and one of the detectives is a horndog who dates every woman in the department and had a one-night stand with her.

There's a scene with him, her, and his partner, that's so like the Blair/Samantha/Jim scenes that I got flashbacks.

The bromance/slash is there but so canon it's almost not worth it, if you know what I mean. Everyone in the group assumed they were gay (yawn) and they have carguments and full on, through a window fistfights -- but when the chips are down, they've got each others backs. One's divorced, amicably enough, the other is the one-night stand guy (issues of abandonment).

Entertaining, though, and a little quirky.
