Hightown
Hightown
Amid the drug trade on Cape Cod, a body washes ashore and is discovered by an irreverent National Marine Fisheries Service officer, Jackie Quinones, who is determined to help solve the murder even if the state cops want her nowhere near the case.
Well done police serial. It's not your classic, remember-every-episode kind of show, but it's solid.
The lead is an unlikable and brash f-up but not in a cute way: "like damn she really gonna do...?' kind of way. But that is what makes it more interesting than the typical show. It's watching a junkie/addict cop partying, walking into every junkie cliche, yet trying to do the right thing. The time spent with characters in and out of AA meetings is a nice theme.
The other lead, Ray, is an abrasive State cop who also has a lot of cockiness and illegal activities at every turn. The unpredictability of each lead keeps the tension going.
3 seasons, so there was an audience for it.
