Unsung..NY Undercover

[Morose Polymath]

One of the GOAT police dramas from the 90s.

dikk Wolf was on his game with this series.

They touched on a lot of black issues too like house nikkas in fraternities, slum lords doing the black community dirty with horrible conditions and neglect, dog fighting, school beef, White supremists, African immigrants, HIV. I could go on all day.

Low Key damn near half the cast from the Wire appeared in this series first.... do ya Googles on that...

And Don't get me started on the music, this is what made that series GOAT. Always had soul artist perform at the club and then featured hip-hoo throughout the show. That episode with Pharcyde's "Runnin" was my shyt!! They played some real Grimey NY hip-hop too like Method Man, Mobb Deep and Mad Lion.

The final season was a fukking abomination, killed off Torres and had JC and Moreno hooking up was just tacky. Tommy from "Martin" coming in trying to act all tuff and be a hard-ass was corny too. Damn they ruined a great thing

I remember the hype and commercial of lasting implications "Next week.two of them will survive and TWO WON'T MAKE IT"

 

[Optimus Prime]

I remember when they replaced Torres with that white cop and he was so bad he ending up getting shot in the face

He came when torres was still on and the show was still good in that 3rd season. When they murked Tommy mcnamara and Torres is when it got wack

 

[Apollo Kid]

The only show of that era that captured the true essence of New York in the 90's. So many actors got their start from that show. I remember i always wanted that C- Lo 4,5,6 hockey jersey that J.C. wore.

Didn't Torres fake his death for about 6 episodes and that white cop replaced him? Maybe I'm remembering wrong. I do remember them getting killed in the same episode. The 2 leads wanted raises and Fox told them no, Yoba stayed, Michael DeLorenzo quit...

His presence was less. I know he missed some. Not sure how many

show was dope, and just like law and order, they would usually shoot the show in and around harlem. so we would be getting out of school (junior high) and you'd see them shooting the show.

also, jc and torress stayed in the fresh 'fits. mad tommy and polo.
