    The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

    The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

    A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

    I watched this show on Sky in the UK and was instantly hooked! I'd previously enjoyed watching CHIPS, T J Hooker and COPS. High Incident was like a godsend, as it was like watching COPS but with awesome actors and story lines (something the average cop show always seems to be in desperate need of!). It was unlike any other cop show I'd ever seen, in that it captured not just the exciting car chases and gunfights, tense moments and drama, but also the average day-to-day calls that a police officer might receive.There was humour as well as drama and I think the viewers posts here speak for themselves, this show should NOT have been CANCELLED so soon! As I saw in a post earlier, this is the kind of cop show that cops watch! And that really says a lot! If this ever is released in some form on DVD, I'm sure I'll be spending insane amounts of money to get hold of it!

    This show was great! To date, it is the only police/real-life drama show I watched religiously. This show was beautiful in everyway. It was powerful, emotional, touching, and just great writing and filled with great actors. David Keith's role was awesome. I still remember the episode where he busts through a door of this house were a husband is beating his wife, and Kieth pounds the guy into the ground. One of my favorite scenes of all time in any movie or TV show. I hated that they left me hanging with one officer paralyzed, and another in a coma after the shootout. Hopefully, some day this show will be available on DVD or something.

    High Incident was definitely my favorite show of all times. It is quite bizarre that neither ABC nor Dreamworks SKG never commented on any of our efforts to support the return of the series. Many television networks were contacted, but unfortunately none chose to reply. The reality and accuracy displayed in the show was absolutely outstanding. I still think of the show today, five years after its original debut, and wonder if it would ever have a second chance. I have since began watching Third Watch, an excellent show that many High Incident fans have come to love. Every time I see Lisa Vidal (Officer Jessica Helgado-HI/Doctor Morales, M.D.-TW) I think back and remember High Incident and just wish I could hear one more time the very words that came out of the police officers such as "Sam-15, show us responding to the location"... or "Sam-15 Sam-15 shots fired, officer down" and find out whatever happened to Mike.

    This show was a show of realism, it captured something about the san fernando valley and at least what i perceived as realistic about the police there (having lived in that area). It showed the sharp contrast from life in the densely populated, gritty, harsh personality northeast (where i grew up), from the life in the suburban, wealthy, always sunny, windswept style, wide open, cheery yet serious, san fernando valley.This is one of my favorite shows of all time and it always upsets me not only that the series ended, but that towards the end of the series it appeared the show veered from its manner and did stunts and the usual hollywood tricks to get ratings and save a show that seems headed to the chopping block.One thing that bothered me about the series was that the character of marsh took the fall for the sexual harassment complaint (which i believe may have been part of the reason the show failed), when it seemed almost certain that he was the victim of an officer who knew she was about to get a justified bad review, seduced him and knew just when to kick him out of the house so that the regular police patrol would find him there - it may have made a nice episode for him to figure out that she set him up.It seems a pity that such talented actors, especially David Keith in his element, Matt Craven and the rest, and writing and cinematography did not pan out into a long running fruitful series.
