Flashpoint Theme

New Does Not Equal Original

How many times have we seen these characters and the story lines before? macho male cops; some single, some married (wife worries about her policeman husband but hangs in for love & family), tough cop shoots suspect as a last resort and refuses talk therapy with the hot female therapist out of male pride or just plain self-ignorance, sole female cop (a hottie) on the team trying hard to be one of the boys, alpha-dog male suddenly appears as a new team member and sexual tension between alpha-dog cop and girl cop goes through the roof, all characters look as if their second jobs are runway or photo fashion models.

give me a break...this is a tired formula repackaged; like Diet Coke versus Coke Zero.
