Really profound theme in this one. Comedy and messaging? Yes please

Rosa testifying is chef's kiss. I think she has one of the best trajectories in terms of character development, can't wait to rewatch it with you guys.

It's a fun episode, and it's nice that they circle back around to the cold open and blow up the book - rightfully so.

There was 3 versions of the show. Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer (1984–1985) and The New Mike Hammer (1986–1987), followed by the revival Mike Hammer, Private Eye (1997–1998).

She's fantastic! I'm not familiar with Stephanie Beatriz's work outside this show, but she is pitch-perfect as Rosa.

I agree. I like where we are headed with Holt and Jake's relationship.

Youtalkingtome

Right? JImmy's lucky he only got one crack in the jaw.

Thanks! I was pretty sure that was where I knew Keatch from (my father was a HUGE fan of at least one iteration of the show.

Gotta love an ally. Remember kids, when you punch a bad guy, wrap your thumb over your other fingers not under them, and keep your wrist locked, that way you don’t get hurt too.

Stacey Keach and a very young Jeff Daniels are in a great boxing flick, Fat City (1972). Would highly recommend!

There is a unique 10 episode miniseries filmed like a play, that I think you guys would love, called Horace and Pete (played by Steve Buscemi and Louis CK). It's a tragicomedy covering some serious topics, and has some very powerful acting done by some greats like Edie Falco, Alan Alda, Jessica Lange. Laurie Metcalf has an amazing scene. And there are plenty of comedians like Steven Wright to keep it funny. Theme song by Paul Simon.

Jamie Morgan

And we've completed the I-have-a-crush-on-Jake-Peralta trifecta: intelligent, loves justice, punches homophobes!

Youtalkingtome

I've had it on a list for a while as a future solo watch. It looks really good.

Jimmy was BEGGING for that beat down (not so tough when someone fights back, of course).

Jamie Morgan

You'll probably catch her a lot as you continue reacting - off the top of my head I've seen/heard her in Bojack Horseman, In the Heights, Encanto, The Legend of Vox Machina, Hazbin Hotel and A Man on the Inside.

I think I heard you reference The New Centurions. Indeed that was authored by Joseph Wamburgh, and almost certainly whom Brogan was based on. Wambaugh's most famous book (turned into a meh movie that Wamburgh disavowed) is The Choirboys, about an absolutely messed up group of LAPD officers who blow off steam (and heavy PTSD) by partaking in drunken, hedonistic, "choir parties" in a local park. A major character, and perhaps the one Brogan's personality is based on, is Roscoe Rules, a homophobic, racist, (well just assume every Deplorables box is ticked) officer who is nonetheless tolerated by the rest of the Choirboys because of his moment of eternal glory. I'm going to try to find Wamburgh's original prose, since it was Shakespearean in its perfection. But in the meantime, I'll do my best to recreate the page (scene) from the book that has stuck with me since I read it as a kid 40 plus years ago. Blackest of black humour, continue at your own risk. + Roscoe and his junior partner are on traffic duty, at the scene of a particularly horrific automobile collision. The "Just Married" scrawl on the rear window is still visible, barely, through the wreckage. Cars slow down to gawk at the carnage as they are waved on through by the officers. Roscoe has positioned himself where his partner will be able to see and hear just enough. he knows he must have an independent champion to tell the tale at the next Choir Practice. Roscoe waits for the perfect vehicle, as car after car crawls past the mangled mess. Finally he spots it. Out-of-State plates, luggage on the roof, a middle-aged couple who are unlikely to make an official complaint. The passenger has wound down her window for a better view of the scene of destruction. Roscoe steps forward, and she asks "Gee officer, looks really bad, was anybody hurt?" Roscoe holds up the decapitated head, still with bridal veil, "Yeah, this one got banged up a bit" The screams drown out the sirens for a while.....

She's also starred in the movie The Light of the Moon. Which is a pretty difficult watch, but great. And a small part in One Day at a Time. I will go out of my way to watch anything she's in, don't think she has had a miss yet.
