Oscar-winner Stephen Gaghan has signed a two-year overall deal with 20th Century Fox Television.  The pact will cover his duties on the aforementioned pilot - a drama  depicting a complex web of crime, policework and politics in Los  Angeles, starring Jimmy Smits, Danny Pino, Noah Emmerich and Madchen  Amick - should it move forward to series. He'll also develop new series  projects for the studio via his Unsupervised Television banner, to be  run by Suzanne Joskow. Already in the works are two efforts at FOX: a  Washington, D.C. drama and an animated comedy.

This one is...close. Good acting, good visuals, but I think it was just too complicated for a network drama. It feels more like an FX show. Certainly, its not getting picked up meant Noah Emmerich was free to do THE AMERICANS a season later! I'd like to see how the story would have played out, but maybe Gaghan can try again in the future. As it is, it falls into a problem many pilots do -- it's half a movie, not so much a setup for an ongoing series. Reminded me of HEAT in some ways.
