Review of Fastlane

Fastlane (2002–2003)
8/10
GREAT SHOW
25 January 2004
Wow, I never could figure out why this show disappeared. Everyone I spoke to liked it. This goes down in the unexplained cancellations file like My So Called Life and Family Guy for example. It was a little over the top, but was still a great show.

The thing that made it magic are all of the different elements of it. It had a continuing story line, which gave it backbone similar to another great show, Nash Bridges. It had the action of any Bruckheimer flick. It even had a great complementing pair of leading actors reminiscent of Miami Vice. Seems like a lot for a weekly show. Maybe it was too much for the general public. I do agree however that had this show been on a different night, it would have had a guaranteed hold for several seasons, and would have likely launched Facinelli into the ranks of Kutcher and other current young actors. Speaking of Facinelli, I would sure like to see him take over the Fast / Furious saga. Paul Walker should hopefully be ready to walk away from it anyway, especially after the mess that the sequel was.
