Stars:Plot:
An eternal daydreamer and closet lesbian, Mel wants nothing more than quit her job and fly away. Things change when the beautiful and streetwise Jenny literally crashes into her life when Mel nearly runs her over in her classic BMW. It is love at first sight, however there is just one problem: Jenny mistakenly assumes Mel to be a boy. Despite this, the pair become 'boyfriend and girlfriend'. With Mel attempting to disguise her true gender at every turn, her journey from tomboy to out lesbian is peppered with life-defining dilemmas and sweet surprises. An assured, mature piece of work that draws heartfelt performances from its leads, My Friends From Faro portrays young love in a way rarely seen on screen.

Plot:
Mike McNeil (Denis Leary) is a self-medicating, hard-drinking, decorated New York City detective with a wife, a mistress, and a crush on a co-worker. Surrounded by a partner and fellow squad members who are just as colorful, McNeil pursues his uniquely unconventional, yet effective, approach to crime solving while he attempts to manage the chaos of his personal life.

Originally broadcast on ABC in 2001 and 2002, The Job was shot entirely on location in New York City, giving the look of the show a grit to match its humor.


The Job

Writer: Denis Leary (Created By), Peter Tolan (Created By), Denis Leary (Writer), Peter Tolan (Writer)
Director: Dean Parisot
Cast: Denis Leary (Mike McNeil), Lenny Clarke (Frank Harrigan), Diane Farr (Jan Fendrich), Adam Ferrara (Tommy Manetti), Richard Gant (Lieutenant), Bill Nunn (Pip), John Ortiz (Ruben Sommariba), Julian Acosta (Al Rodriguez), Wendy Makkena (Karen McNeil), Karyn Parsons (Toni), Teagle F. Bougere (Kaleel Ojala), Gammy L. Singer (Kaleel's Grandmother), Dyron Holmes (Ironsides), Jimmy Burke (Bike Cop), Shiro Oishi (Mr. Ahira)

Denis Leary playing Denis Leary the cop. The pilot episode was okay. I last watched this series in 2005 when I first got it. Seems like I did give it a good rating in DVD Profiler.
Of what I have read this series is similar to the one he did later on: Rescue Me.
