After watching this show I can tell you this, It could have potential. As much as I thought the main actor would be stereotyped, he does well. As a matter of fact most of the police actors do well.
However, The main drawback to this show is Hollywood pushing propaganda with it. As well as being way to politically correct. The fact is according to this show just about every criminal in Detroit is a white guy or gal.
Now I don't consider this a race issue I consider it a realism issue. DETROIT is majority Black city and the majority of the crime is drug crimes naturally being committed by the majority ethnic group of the area...which isn't whites. If they are going to go that route the show should be called fargo ND Homicide or something like that.
Not only that Hollywood is making just about every single relationship in the show an interracial one. This is not being done on accident as it happens in every show.. its being done on purpose. so..
For the acting, I give the show a 8. For the fact Hollywood is using the show for propaganda purposes or just as bad to try to be politically correct and pretend the crime rate is different then what it is in detroit.. I subtract 3.. giving the show a 5 for pretty good overall acting.
Had Hollywood not tried to make social statement with the show.. it probably would be coming back for a second season. too bad, maybe next time they won't bow down to the gods of political correctness and make a truly gritty show that also is based on SOME reality.
