Jim Sturgess and Agyness Deyn play detectives Robert Hicks and Elaine Renko, partners and enemies, who seek to enforce the law and protect their loved ones in a world that every day slips closer to a world-ending natural disaster. Hicks is a family man and a great, committed officer. He’s also profoundly corrupt. Renko is a difficult and damaged, but utterly incorruptible officer. Thus, the two cops stand on different ends of the social and moral spectrum and also seriously distrust one other – and for good reason. But they must somehow learn to work together if they’re going to survive until the end of the world.
I can really get into a good procedural. I enjoy the predictability of crime-process-solution but perhaps that is because I enjoy the often witty writing of the dialogues for these shows. Yes, it is a thing to think up the new odd combo of characters to play off each other, and frequently with odd personality quirks or even powers, but that too is a lot of fun. Enjoy!!! Personally, I would love to see a few of these come back.
