My Thoughts

There's something about a great crime drama that I just can't resist, and 19-2 is now my newest addiction. This series puts you right is the heart of the streets with actual officers working the beat. Nick is struggling with a former shooting and his partner Ben is still something of a rookie cop. Both are a little wary of the other, but after a few years together, they are learning to trust each other in the mist of a bizarre and violent rash of crimes that are hitting their city. This DVD set contains eight great episodes plus a bonus.

This is such a great series. It's filled with edge of your seat action, and Ben and Nick both make for some nice eye candy as well! I'm sad to see this series come to an end.
