LUFKIN, TX (KTRE) -
Commercial clips show Trinity Police officers as a
fun-loving bunch, doing pranks to each other, laughing with inmates and passing
gas.
Someone like me watches it and thinks, "Well, this is how
they're drawing them in. We'll see how they're actually a hard-working bunch."
Unfortunately, the first episode doesn't show that.
Most of the first show is Chief Stephen Jones going to a
ribbon cutting, cutting up with Officer Donald "Big Sexy" Givens and giving his
officers a hard time.
The one who gets the hardest time is Officer Felix Morales
,the rookie. But Morales doesn't take it lying down.
He's paired with Officer Justin Sikes, who they call a "pit
bull in a Chihuahua's body."
Jones' closest friends on the force are Sgt. Randy Wheeler
and Officer Givens.
The whole cast is
very natural on camera and it makes for a great product. They all have that
southern humor and the series will be a blast to watch for any East Texan.
Givens may be the star of the first episode, as he shows off
his charisma and even explains how he acquires it.
There are about three to four storylines in the pilot, and
they're all intriguing and make for a fun show.
A fun show for the rest of the nation to watch. But
hopefully future episodes cast a more positive light on the good Trinity Police
do for their residents.
