APB [new] (9 pm, Fox)

Police work isn’t rocket science. It’s harder. Inspired by true events,
APB is a new police drama with a high-tech twist from executive
producer/director Len Wiseman (LUCIFER, “Underworld”) and executive
producer/writer Matt Nix (“Burn Notice”). Sky-high crime,
officer-involved shootings, cover-ups and corruption: the over-extended
and under-funded Chicago Police Department is spiraling out of control.
Enter billionaire engineer GIDEON REEVES (Justin Kirk, “Tyrant,”
“Weeds”). After his best friend is murdered in a botched attempted
robbery, and the killer remains at large, Gideon demands justice.
Putting up millions of dollars of his own money, he makes an
unprecedented deal to take over the troubled 13th District ­ and reboot
it as a private police force: better, faster and smarter than anything
seen before. With cutting-edge technology created by Gideon himself,
this eccentric yet brilliant outsider challenges the city’s police force
to rethink everything about the way they fight crime. But the
near-overnight transition to the city’s most advanced police district
doesn’t sit well with all of its members. Gideon knows if he’s going to
change anything, he needs an ally, whom he finds in OFFICER THERESA
MURPHY (Natalie Martinez, “Kingdom,” “Under the Dome”), an ambitious,
street-smart cop who is ready to embrace Gideon’s technological changes.
With the help of Gideon’s gifted tech officer, ADA HAMILTON (Caitlin
Stasey “Reign”), he and Murphy embark on a mission to turn the 13th
District ­ including a skeptical SGT. NED CONRAD (Ernie Hudson, “Grace
and Frankie,” “Ghostbusters”), and determined OFFICERS NICHOLAS BRANDT
(Taylor Handley “Vegas, ” “Southland”) and TASHA GOSS (Tamberla Perry
“Boss”) ­ into a dedicated crime-fighting force of the 21st century.

I hope Ian appreciates this.

>APB [new] (9 pm, Fox)

I expect this will make me miss Gotham and Lucifer, sigh, and
piss me off since they'll get everything wrong about Chicago.

I much prefer television getting everything wrong about New York.

I'd rather watch COUNTERSTRIKE.

[shawn]

Sure.. ROBOCOP was a real movie and it was based on a similar idea. So
if this show was based off that idea then it's based off real life.
Hunter style wanking.

[Obveeus]

Hunter always did have a way of convoluting real life and TV.

[Obveeus]

In the spirit of Hunter, I tracked down the 'reality' that this APB show
is based upon:
https://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/02/magazine/who-runs-the-streets-of-new-orleans.html

Oh my is this a sad reality compared to what is portrayed by APB.

Are we talking about the 1969 Brit series, or the 1990 Canadian one?...

The one with Manimal.

[Adam H. Kerman]

I wondered what happened to Simon MacCorkindale. Looking it up, I see
he died of cancer a number of years ago.

Wasn't it partly filmed in France, or was it entirely Canadian locations?

I don't remember anything about it, oh well. I guess it was on USA during
that period when most of their shows were entertaining.

[anim8rfsk]

In article <o7d41e$tq4$1...@dont-email.me>,

IMDb says:
Filming Locations
Showing all 2 filming locations
Paris, France
Toronto, Ontario, Canada

[Adam H. Kerman]

I couldn't get IMDb to cooperate; it was having an Ian hair day. Thanks.

Yeah, I thought I'd recalled something about filming in France, but
not much else.

The one that aired on USA Network in the 1990's.
