They're PIs, but with strong backgrounds with the super agency. In this case Secret Service. From the same folks who do NCIS and NCIS:LA. Plus Rebecca Ronijn is really easy to look at.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16620367133264855090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119990365479009764.post-49809353776082656882013-06-11T08:28:09.792-05:002013-06-11T08:28:09.792-05:00Yeah, Dana, there was definitely an interest in &q...Yeah, Dana, there was definitely an interest in "super agencies" (came up a few times in the meetings) but I wonder if it's also corporate sponsor-driven?<br /><br />No one fears the outlier and outsider like corporate culture.

As I wrote in a blog post several years ago, cops are about closing cases; PIs are about closure.<br /><br />I read somewhere the issue with PI shows right now is we're in an authoritarian cycle.
