Clancy Brown as a '90s cop cosplaying 1949 noir. What could go wrong?

Acting
Clancy Brown somehow makes this generic cop memorable.
Production
The 1949 NYC set on a 1990 budget: charmingly unconvincing.
Director
Robert L. Collins
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.
