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 10 great episodes plus a bonus.

 Burn Pile-  The mole in the department has everyone on edge, and the partners are first respondents in a serious wreck.
