The Resume

    Premise: A Canadian elite tactical unit, the Strategic Response Unit (SRU), fights extremely dangerous crime situations

Why Flashpoint (TV) might be annoying:

    It is brutal and violent.
    It appeals to the vigilante emotion of its audience.
    It is another police-crime drama.
    The Writers Guild strike of 2007-2008 affected production on the series.
    The creators intended the cast to be nearly comprised of Canadian thespians despite being targeted toward Canadian and American audiences.
    Like many 'Law and Order' episodes, some of the storylines were ripped from real-life headlines.

Why Flashpoint (TV) might not be annoying:

    It revived the original Pink Ranger's career!
    Unlike the series 'SWAT,' the show isn't about the glamor and gunplay of the unit, but rather the personalities and conflict-resolution skills involved in running a group that has to deal with the tense situations they confront.
    Many of the storylines result in the victim and/or suspect finding redemption or resolution.
    Many of the main characters on the SRU team have also personal demons that they battle everyday.
    Often times, the members of SRU would embrace each other or a victim at the conclusion of each episode (which counts as a rare heartwarming moment for such a dark series).
    It has been lauded for being realistic.
