Oh, what potential! Place crooked cops in the fertile cesspool of lawlessness and degradation that is the rapidly imploding city of Detroit and you should have the next Breaking Bad. Instead, while it has all the great AMC timing and acting, the "peel back the onion on each character" plot is second-rate, the red herrings are more like lake trout and the show looks like it'll end with a whisper, rather than a bang.
