Premise:

Characters:
- Jack Mannion is the new chief with a hardline style
- Ella Mae Farmer is the chief's office manager and counselor.
- Deputy Chief Noland thought he would get promoted to chief.
- Temple Page is a young cop who is newly promoted to detective.

Comments:
This series is not cutting edge like some of the more recent crime/police dramas, but it has solid writing and a solid cast. As said, very little is fresh, except the nice package. Unlike much of its contemporaries, there is no envelope-pushing language, nudity or sexuality, which makes it more family friendly.
