There was a Boomtown marathon on Bravo this Sunday, and even though I am a Law & Order fan (specifically Criminal Intent), this show just seems to be the only thing that gets me enthralled.

All these multiple perspectives just makes it harder for me to figure out the twist at the end. If I had taped these episodes, I could attempt to figure out the twist, but I think I'd ruin my enjoyment.

Anybody out there agrees with me that this show just blows away many of the "thrillers" or crime dramas on the silver screen, and on television? Nothing has got me in the dark till the end for a long time as this show has done. And Mykelti Williamson just kicks ass in this show as Fearless. Or maybe I'm just watching crap in the theaters...

i've been wanting to check this show out. but i'm too lazy to set my VCR. there aren't too many cop/crime shows set in LA anymore. years ago there was "Leaving LA" and it featured that dude from Law & Order (Christopher Meloni). but that show got canned. now we got Dragnet and Boomtown. i'm just waiting for a modern version of Starskey and Hutch, or TJ Hooker, or SWAT. :D
