Something's wrong with this show

wjturner

Tonight's was the first episode I've seen and I must say that I'm not all that impressed, either with the acting or the sets. I spent nearly 40 years in the San Francisco Bay Area, and rode BART for several years. This show has the trains AND the platforms (stations) looking much more like the New York subway, with their corrugated sheet metal trains and hard metal benches, instead of the aerodynamic, sleek trains and upholstered seats that BART uses.

The BART logo is wrong, and the Dept. of Transportation isn't called Dept. of Transportation in California...it's called CalTrans. Period.

The inside of the police "precinct" (their work) looks like something out of NYPD Blue with the lights turned down. SFPD doesn't call their police stations "precincts"...they call them "stations".

If the producers want to make this a believable show, then use believable words that convey the feeling of being a part of one of the greatest cities in the US...neh, the world.

score 4/10
