I love this show

This is a great show; I have always been interested in law enforcement. When I was a child, I wanted to be a cop. I used to play at cops and robbers all the time! I still dream about being a cop, or an agent of some kind.

FBI agents are fighting to stop the criminal ways of Mr Malloy and his people in Richmond, Virginia (I think that is where it's set).

I enjoyed every episode, the acting is good, the script is well written and the action is realistic.

Leslie Hope was good as the firm boss who seemed to be on top of everything but was having emotional problems and complications with her child.

Leslie Bibb was convincing as the rookie agent who really came into her own towards the end of the show.

Anson Mount played his character well. An Agent who spent 2 years undercover in jail so he could infiltrate Mr Malloy's gang and is dealing with some problems as a result of it.

Julie Ann Emery played an FBI agent who was also a mother of two and had marriage problems.

Jeffery D. Sams played another fresh outta training agent who was 100% confident in himself and seemed to pick things up straight away.

David Paymer plays his character brilliantly. He comes across nicely as a criminal with principals! LOL.

The show had some surprising concepts and ideas. I was not expecting the raping of Mrs Malloy, the dead baby in a dumpster, the ex-con trying to kill Agent Sampson's (Julie Ann Emery) children. The woman who found out her husband didn't die but ran away, and then turned up again and she shot him and how this affected Bibb's character because she lost her husband during a 9/11 attack. The most surprising thing was that this Agent (Anson Mount) had been undercover in JAIL for 2 years just to get close to Mr Malloy (David Paymer), wow...talk about commitment to your work!!

I can imagine though on the set someone calling 'Leslie' and both Bibb and Hope replying at the same time, that must of gotten confusing.

This is a great show and I am just upset that it only had one season.
