Our June member drive is live: protect this resource!
Right now, we need your help during our short June member drive to keep the local news you read here every day going. This has been a challenging year, but with your help, we can get one step closer to closing our budget gap. Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership.

Last night was the premiere of Shark on CBS. It takes place in Los Angeles.

Problem: The Mayor doesn't have secret service looking agents. He has LAPD when on the job.

Question: Why does the Mayor look like Los Angeles city councilman Tony Cardenas (played by Carlos Gómez)?

Kudos: For filming on location or faking the County's downtown drab marble interiors quite well.

We liked: The Los Angeles natural light.

We didn't like: The eventuality that Shark (played by James Woods) and Jessica Devlin (played by Jeri Ryan) will kiss (or at least have a close call).

Where was: Shark's house?

Maybe to come: A drinking game based on Shark's wildly moving hand gestures in court and every time he mentions one of his "three rules."
