I think its generic title and weird availability (audience network??) doomed it to obscurity but there's a lot in it for slop enjoyers.....incredibly deep bench of character actors in the main and guest/recurring cast for starters. frank grillo, paul walter hauser and jonathan tucker alone being in so much of it makes it worthy. uh nick jonas is there also

I would basically describe it as a kind of a douchebag hot couch take on a prestige drama. lots of fighting, lots of betrayal, lots of alcoholism, lots of melodrama. but also for long stretches, some of the most realistic unflowery dialogue I've ever seen on tv? the non-male characters are mostly not embarrassing from what I remember? the second season is twenty episodes long, and then the third is the hottest mess imaginable?

this is as good a clip as I'm gonna find. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4QZ9fjgoHM

I watched a few seasons several years ago back when I still had cable, but haven't watched since then. I just remember some episodes set in the future where the catholic church had developed a military wing, kind of like taking the notion of the salvation army way too far, so the priest was just a rank in this military, and cardinal was like general. Shit like that. Was pretty funny. I believe it was the episode with the angel statues.
