You don't watch this for a logical plot or even realistic fight scenes in some instances. The intelligence of the crimes and crime-solving are a bit below average and the script is littered with cheese. But despite some poor execution, the concept itself draws interest. Who doesn't love the idea of having criminals with very different backgrounds team up to fight other criminals? Are there reasons to watch this? Absolutely- as long as you manage expectations.

Foremost, the team of "mad dogs" is ultimately what keeps the series entertaining enough. Especially when the leads were pretty much a perfect cast for their characters. The overall plot itself also has enough twists and turns to keep the viewer intrigued, even if the details don't always make sense and the decisions are sometimes questionable. There's enough fast-paced action here where there really isn't much room to fast-forward on and it thankfully doesn't have any sappy romance.

Although I've dropped other series that have similar flaws, this one was just fun to watch. After all, the focus wasn't meant to be around forensics or detective work but on the woven relationships of the characters. It's like watching a comic book movie of a super-hero team made up of criminals. If it consisted of more than the 11 episodes, then maybe they could have incorporated more depth. The ending felt rushed but still left me wanting to see more of them in action again.
