A primary strength of the series has been its gallery of charismatic, conflicted ‘bent’ cops, played by an exceptionally able roster of actors. The key underplayer is Compston as the combative Steve, the show’s moral center between the more pragmatic Kate and the more blustery, self-righteous Ted. Responding to station-house shootouts and sinister conspiracies with a raised eyebrow and a tight frown, he’s the beacon of sanity who allows us to enjoy the craziness guilt-free.
