History
[edit]A lack of gritty cop shows on television in 2009 inspired Hossain to create one on the internet. He had been a longtime fan of programs like Homicide: Life on the Streets, NYPD Blue, and The Shield.[3] Hossain wrote and directed all four episodes of Season 1, which were shot on June 27th, 2009 in Los Angeles.[4][5]
