Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAfter meeting during the production of this show Ron Livingston and Rosemarie DeWitt began dating. After a three year relationship they were married on November 2nd, 2009.
- GoofsThe vast majority of the cases shown would not be handled by the FBI. Since they involve state-level crimes local law enforcement such as the LAPD would handle them. The LAPD was an early adopter of the SWAT program. A notable exception was in Partners in Crime (2006) when bank robbery was involved, as the FBI investigates bank robbery.
- Quotes
Emily Lehman: Look, I can handle Doug, but with Steele in the room it'll be like trying to diffuse a bomb with a little gremlin on my shoulder pulling my hair.
Matt Flannery: Why is the gremlin pulling your hair?
Emily Lehman: Look, I could come up with a better metaphor...
- ConnectionsReferenced in Family Guy: Family Gay (2009)

Love This Show
Thank you Sky for bringing this show to the UK, it's great, and a nice change to actually get a good drama/comedy instead of more reality TV.
The characters are well thought out, and well acted. A great cast, especially Gina Torres as the "Boss".
The story lines are solid, and without too much emphasis on the technical aspects the viewers is allowed to get involved with the personal story that evolves each week.
It's also interesting to have the running theme of the relationship between the two main characters, and to see how this will develop as time goes on.
Well done FOX, please don't cancel this one.
