This gritty crime drama follows Detective Vic Mackey (Michael Chiklis) as he leads a group of detectives known as the Strike Team throughout the crime ridden streets of California. Though is goal of stopping crime at its source is admirable, his methods are anything but on the straight and narrow, and become increasingly corrupt as time goes on. Romantic relationships are equally difficult to navigate; Mackey's marriage falters due to several indiscretions, as well as the stress of paying for the education of a special needs child. Fellow Strike Team member Shane Vendrell's (Walton Goggins) marriage is equally rocky, and motivates Shane to pursuing a course of actions that would shake the team to its very core.
Judge Harry Stone (Harry Anderson) presides over a wide variety of unpredictable characters with the help of his only marginally more sane staff in this collection of episodes from the hit situation comedy Night Court. Night Court: The Complete First Season features the show's first 13 episodes, originally aired in 1984 and co-starring John Larroquette, Selma Diamond, Richard Moll, Paula Kelly, and Karen Austin. The DVD set also includes cast and crew commentary on two episodes and a short documentary on the making of Night Court's first season.
