Clancy Brown as a '90s cop cosplaying 1949 noir. What could go wrong?
An honest, hard-working cop has to go up against the mob in 1949 New York City.
Acting
Clancy Brown somehow makes this generic cop memorable.
Production
The 1949 NYC set on a 1990 budget: charmingly unconvincing.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This aired on NBC as a pilot that never got picked up, which explains why it feels like a show's entire arc compressed into 96 minutes.
Director Robert L. Collins mostly worked in Canadian television; this was his rare American network swing.
