Diversity, equality, & inclusion before it became stigmatized and stymied in politics (*sic*) These character driven stories draw the viewer in and hold their attention with realistic chemistry and on-the-job tension between Williams and Torres - skillfully played by Malik Yoba and Michael DeLorenzo.
This series is very 90's due to its look, sound, and tech, but extremely progressive with its cases, victims, and too-often prejudicial legal system that frustratingly continues to this day.
I must admit I did find much of the music in the first season distracting - except for the closing musical number at Natalie's. Too often the music revealed too much too soon; hip hop (action) R&B (love scene); the music made it predictable.
I miss the day's when shows had 26 episodes to develop characters and storylines, because the 8 to 10 episodes we get today - especially through streaming networks are just too short and too rushed.
NY Undercover is worth the watch - especially if you can binge-watch this 90's time capsule. The city, its fashion, and to this day relevant stories are a gem to look back on, remember, and realize just how far we still have to go.
