On Call (Prime) - I finally finished this show out. I'm not sure the
second 4 episodes were as strong as the first 4 episodes, as the show
seemed to go quickly over-the-top towards the end (e.g. PLL bitch! uses
a live weapon on the streets for the first time, rookie gets shot (but
was vested)). And I'm not sure I cared for the "Reset Button" they hit
at the end, esp. because I don't think this show has been renewed yet,
so if it ends here it will be an unsatisfying ending... I did like how
Eriq La Salle ended up not being PLL's (bitches!) enemy.
    But if they did do a second season of this show, I would watch it.

 Really? I bailed after the pilot. Should I be taking a second look?

As a "serious" version of "The Rookie", it's not bad. And I liked the 30-minute episode format: much preferable to this same material being dragged across 1-hour episodes.
However, they need to come up with more than 8-episode seasons - for a 30-min episode show, 8 episodes per season is a joke.
