| Thiis takes NYPD Blue to another level, as Lt. Patrick Brogan and his partner Officer Jack Haldane are transferred to the City of Demeter on the planet Altor. He moves with his wife and 2 children and they have to adjust to a new life. Patrick has to deal not only with human criminals who exist in the city but also aliens. It was originally planned as a collaboration between Anderson and the BBC but they withdrew. citing the reason as being too expensive. At $1.5 million or roughly £900,00 an episode, you can understand why it was dropped by the BBC. Anderson turned to the American who provided the money for the series. In the UK, it was eventually shown on BBC after it had been shown on SKY. There were no aliens which had human features but forehead ridges. One episode 'The Snake', the assassin is pure C.G.I which makes this episode stand out from the rest.
