LOW WINTER SUN - AMC TV - FAILURE

Low Winter Sun...????? It should set after this episode, for Detroiters.

Does Detroit deserve a TV show that makes 'Breaking Bad' look good ??? NO -
Two 'good cops' kill a bad cop ??? No - there appears to be no good cops, only corruption, decay, abandoned housing and drug dealers in bleak Detroit, future episodes if they continue this theme, does Detroit now good, and were paying $7.5m in film incentives for this !!!!

Mark Strong, 'Frank Agnew', lives in a blighted, abandon homes area of Detroit ??
and his car still has tires on it ???? Someone should have said - I don't think anyone will believe this - even the Mayor of Detroit failed to get any real interest in getting cops to return to live in the city, with huge subsidizes..
At least in Detroit 1 8 7 - it is explained that the character is from NY - that's why he says 'soda'...but why would a successful cop - live in a decayed area. ???

Low Winter Sun shows a wrong, dirty, distasteful, ignorant side of the Detroit Police Department and Detroit that has been shown, discussed and rehashed over and over again, this AMC Show is another version that has no real redeeming social value, for Detroit or its residents.

At least Ruben Santiago-Hudson, a favorite from Castle, isn't cast as a foul mouth, yelling, out of control supervisor.

The class of police shows - that Detroit deserves even with all of its flaws and problems is - NYPD Blue, Blue Bloods, Hill Street Blues, Castle,Golden Boy, Hawaii 50, (who wouldn't want to go to Hawaii even with its crime )...where you care about the characters and the city they work in....NO Characters, so far, make you want to like them or watch them...
