If End of Watch hit the spot, these will too


One thread runs through both: friendship

Gritty where it counts, contemplative underneath

Tense and warm in the same breath
The difference: Trades the stillness of End of Watch for an angle of its own

Gritty crime, and it commits to that
The difference: Takes it somewhere less tense than End of Watch does

Drama with a pulse of stillness, in both cases

The same preoccupation in both: shootout

Both lean on warmth more than on thriller
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Both keep coming back to the same thing: human trafficking
The difference: Leans harder into action than End of Watch does


Crime built on stillness, twice over
The difference: 21 years apart, and the 1990s show

Tense thriller in both cases
