Training Day (2017)
7/10
Excellent series, underrated
10 March 2017
This is an excellent series and very underrated. Bill Paxton is excellent, as usual, but so are the other cast members playing his character Frank Rourke's "crew".

What will happen to the series after Bill Paxton's untimely death due to a post-heart surgery stroke is not known at this time. The first season was completed before Mr. Paxton's operation. Since Bill Paxton's less-than-straight and narrow police detective "Frank Rourke" was at the heart and soul of the show, it would be very challenging to continue the series in his absence. Still, for those who haven't seen it, this show is well worth seeing even if it ends after 13 episodes. I've enjoyed every episode, all of which are stand alone, but have a linking arc about the death of Rourke's "trainee", Detective Kyle Craig's (the excellent Justin Cornwell) police officer father and former partner of Frank Rourke. There is also the deepening mystery of their boss, Chief Lockhart (played by the always excellent Marianne Jean-Baptiste), motivations on pursuing Rourke.
