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 a rookie cop. Both are a little wary of the other and are just 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 10 great episodes. 

1 - Ben & Nick respond to a high school shooting and one of their own is hit.

2 - There is a mole in the station, and everyone is trying to cope with the awful school massacre. 

3-  Audrey & Beatrice are teamed up and Ben spies on Nick and his cousin.

4- Tyler is back on the job and Ben has some concerns about his partner allegiance. 

5 - A teen tries to commit suicide and some new developments in Nick's relationship.

6 - Still no luck finding the mole and project Hercules leads to a raid. 

7 - A building is condemned and Station 19 is handling the evictions. 

8 - Police are under fire after a civilian is killed.

9 - Ben and Nick are questioning a suspect, but soon the tables are turned and they're in the hot seat.
