That said, I enjoyed the second episode more than the first...enough to keep me interested so far...

Wysocki saving Moose was WAY too predictable. As soon as that whole freeze-out thing happened I knew Wysocki would end up saving his ass, even right down to it being a bullet as he was about to get shot.
Also, I'm not sure I understand why the chief of staff "blackmail" play by Gibbons was such a big deal to Colvin. Was it just because it reflected badly on her department?

I would have been more surprised if he didn't. To have him go after him was the best decision though so I'm fine with that. I think it would have been out of character for Wysocki to say, "Yeah, we're cool." And let it go.

The girl who plays the niece (Devin Kelley) looks like she could be Gillian Jacobs' sister. And, though I like the show, some Twitterers were telling Shawn Ryan that it's better than Terriers. Not a chance. Damn you, audience that didn't find that show.

Somehow I don't think ANY police district, let alone one in a major city like Chicago would have had those new radios in hand that quickly.
