Cop Star
Charismatic, sarcastic, with a flask in his pocket and demons in his head, Keith is an experienced oper who knows the street better than any GPS. His partner is a principled and slightly naive newbie who has not yet had time to be disappointed in the system. Together, they're like a two—man rock band forced to play on the same wavelength. Each episode is a new investigation, a new challenge and a new way to grow the audience. But behind the likes, hype, and pennants is real pain and an attempt to somehow cope with the past.
