Detroit 1-8-7 is an American police procedural drama series about the Detroit Police Department's leading homicide unit, created by Jason Richman for ABC. It featured an ensemble cast of actors including Michael Imperioli and James McDaniel. It ran for one season consisting of 18 episodes on ABC from September 21, 2010 to March 20, 2011. It was filmed on location in Detroit, except for the pilot, which was filmed in Atlanta.
The show's executive producer, David Zabel stated, "This is a crime show but we will explore various nooks and crannies in the communities and within that context there's a lot of opportunity to see what's positive in the city and see what's heroic about the people fighting for what's best for the city of Detroit."[1]
The 1-8-7 of the title is a specific reference to the California Penal Code designation for homicide, which has become a slang term for murder. The Michigan Compiled Laws designation for the various forms of homicide begins at 750.
On May 13, 2011, Detroit 1-8-7 was canceled by ABC.[2] With the cancellation, series creator Jason Richman has said he is pursuing options for the series to continue on cable television, also stating that chances for the move are "slim".[3] It was released on DVD later that year.[4]
Detectives Fitch, Washington, Stone, and Sanchez investigate the murder of a car-wash owner. They discover that the owner of the car-wash was laundering money for a local drug dealer and that his wife has the bank statements and receipts to prove it. Using the belief that her son is distraught at the separation from his mother Fitch and Stone trick her into meeting with them. Longford and Mahajan investigate the slaying of a rising hip-hop star who is found on the street in front of a record store. The murdered musician's vandalised car is atop the parking structure it is believed he was pushed off of. It is also revealed that Detective Stone might have been involved in some more illicit activities during his time working undercover narcotics.
On November 6, 2009 ABC picked up five new projects from Mandeville Films which included Detroit 1-8-7, at the time called "187 Detroit".[24] ABC ordered the pilot of Detroit 1-8-7 on January 4, 2010.[25] Jon Michael Hill was the first person cast for the show in late January.[26] Nellie Andreeva, then of The Hollywood Reporter, reported on January 27, 2010 that the lead role in Detroit 1-8-7 had been offered to British actor Jason Isaacs.[27] Aisha Hinds, Natalie Martinez, and D.J. Cotrona were all cast in February 2010.[28][29][30] It was announced on night of March 2, 2010 that Michael Imperioli joined the cast of Detroit 1-8-7.[31] Three days later it was announced that James McDaniel, Shaun Majumder, and Erin Cummings had been cast in the remaining principal roles of Detroit 1-8-7.[32] The character Detective Louis Fitch was originally named Joseph Fitch and the Wayne County Medical Examiner's name was Dr. Hailey Cork in the pilot.[33] The pilot was filmed in Atlanta, Georgia in March 2010.[34]
There was a controversy over a single word in the script of the premiere, "soda". The character Pooch, played by Mo McRae said, "You just drunk the last of my soda."[40] The next morning it was a recurring topic on local radio station WDZH (98.7 AMP) about which is the proper term for soft drink in Detroit, "soda" or "pop". The winner was "pop".[41] The character Pooch was also in the seventh episode and that time he asked for a "pop".[42] At the end of the season 1 finale, Detective Fitch asks his son if he would like to get a Coney and soda, to which his son replies that "they don't say soda here, they say pop...everyone knows that", as Detective Fitch nods and smiles.
The series also featured real Detroit ABC affiliate WXYZ-TV, real Detroit newspaper The Detroit News, real Detroit colleges University of Detroit Mercy and Wayne State University and several Motown Records artists' music. Landmarks shown include Comerica Park, Ford Field, the Renaissance Center, and Michigan Central Station.
The score is composed by Dave Kushner and John O'Brien. Detroit 1-8-7 has been noted for its usage of Motown music in its episodes.[43] Motown music featured in Detroit 1-8-7 includes "Ball of Confusion" by The Temptations, "Higher Ground" and "Living for the City" by Stevie Wonder. The ringtone on Detective Washington's phone in the first episode is "Baby Love" by The Supremes.[44]
Detroit 1-8-7 premiered on September 21, 2010 at 10:00 pm on ABC.[45] The first season was initially to be 13 episodes. On October 25, 2010 ABC announced the order of an additional 5 episodes to bring the first season to 18 episodes.[46]
The thirteenth episode, "Road To Nowhere", was initially scheduled for January 18, 2011 but was replaced with a 20/20 special interview with Mark E. Kelly, the husband of U.S. Congresswoman Gabby Giffords who is believed to have been the intended target in the shooting near Tucson, Arizona ten days before.[47][48] The 2011 State of the Union Address was broadcast on January 25.[49] "Road To Nowhere" was broadcast on February 1, 2011.[47]
On February 22, 2011 an episode of Primetime: What Would You Do was shown in place of the previously scheduled sixteenth episode, "Stone Cold".[50] A special 20/20 interview with Charlie Sheen was broadcast on March 1, 2011, again displacing "Stone Cold".[51] "Stone Cold" was eventually broadcast on March 8.[52] The rescheduling of previous episodes put the season finale in conflict with season 12 of Dancing with the Stars and as a result Detroit 1-8-7 was moved to Sunday, March 20 at 10:00 pm.[53]
Detroit 1-8-7 has an average score of 63/100 on Metacritic based on 22 reviews from television critics.[57] Robert Bianco of USA Today describes the series as the best police drama on ABC since NYPD Blue ended. Bianco says the show's best trait is its uncommon setting and that it is filmed where it is set, "which gives it an authenticity and a palpable sense of place."[58] The New York Times's television critic Alessandra Stanley said the show is "a throwback to an earlier era of cop shows when steel-edged realism was still novel and there was a thrill to watching terse, streetwise detectives on shows like Dragnet and Kojak cajole witnesses and browbeat suspects."[44]
Rob Owen of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette found Detroit 1-8-7 brings nothing new to the police procedural genre but that it does offer strong performances from its cast. Owen further said that the drama is disappointingly generic, but expected it to appeal to die-hard fans of the genre.[59] In his review of new shows for autumn 2010 Hank Stuever of The Washington Post gives Detroit 1-8-7 a grade of D+ and says "nothing to see here."[60] John Doyle of The Globe and Mail called Detroit 1-8-7 "a too-conventional cop show."[61]
James Poniewozik of Time said that "Detroit 1-8-7 does not look bad. It's more character-focused than a typical procedural and has a strong, multi-ethnic cast. And it has a sense of the city's history: an African-American cop, referencing the city's white-flight past, says he's been on the force so long that "when I started, half of the suspects were white."[64]
John Roach, former Detroit Police Department spokesman, in speaking of the first episode, said, "I think the show portrayed Detroit's police officers as real people, dedicated, even heroic, which is entirely deserved."[65]
Detroit 1-8-7 was nominated for Favorite New TV Drama at the 37th People's Choice Awards but it did not make the final cut for the five finalists.[69][70][71]The series was also nominated for Outstanding Drama Series at the 2011 NAACP Image Awards.[72][73] Detroit 1-8-7 was also nominated for a Golden Reel Award and a Banff Rockie Award.[74][75] Tom O'Neil of the Los Angeles Times said that Detroit 1-8-7 was a possible contender for the Outstanding Drama Series Emmy and that Michael Imperioli was a possible nominee for an Outstanding Lead Actor Emmy, although neither were nominated.[76][77]
Detroit 1-8-7 was an American police procedural that aired on the ABC Network for one season from 2010 to 2011. The series followed the homicide department of the Detroit Police Department, and with the exception of the pilot, was shot on location in Detroit. The show suffered from low ratings and was cancelled in the spring of 2011.
The series title actually refers to the California Penal Code designation for homicide, which has since been adopted in popular culture as slang for murder. In reality, the Michigan Compiled Law (MCL) Chapter dealing with crimes, including murder, is MCL Chapter 750. The series aired on ABC for 18 episodes from 2010-2011.
It is revealed in "Road to Nowhere" (S01E13) that Det. Fitch carries a snub-nosed .38 revolver in an ankle holster as a backup weapon. There isn't enough seen to make a proper ID and is never seen again in the series.
A gunman, later identified as James Burke (Joshua Bitton), fires an unidentifiable pistol in surveillance footage in "Pharmacy Double/Bullet Train" (S01E01). It is impossible to make an ID from this distance.
Det. Sanchez uses a Remington 870 in the shootout at the end of "Royal Bubbles/Needle Drop" (S01E04). Sanchez's 870 has a side saddle for extra shells. (Detroit Police are allowed to carry and use personally owned Remington 870 shotguns on duty.)
The latter is the quickest way into my heart, if not the public's, as evidenced by ABC's quirky (and short-lived) midseason effort The Unusuals. When ABC went back to the drawing board, they came up with Detroit 1-8-7 for the fall season. The show was firmly implanted in camp 2) as a mockumentary that tracks the adventures of a group of Detroit cops. 1-8-7 retooled over the summer, ditching the doc format, and is now stuck in the ether between 1) and 2). My review after the jump.
