I have enjoyed the books, not sure about another cop show, will depend on who stars in it.
ReplyDeleteOh yay,i've read all his books.Depending on who plays Alex and Milo this could be a fantastic crime thriller series.And thinking about it they could do a book every season and not run out.... I am very excited by this news!
ReplyDeleteNever heard about it, not sure I want another police procedural. Also not sure about the "joins forces with a closeted gay LAPD detective".
ReplyDeleteI don't know how the series would be but the books are very good.And Milo,the detective is not closeted,it is known in his work and to his friends.Milo is all cop,not flamboyant at all.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it would be purely a cop show. Since Alex is a shrink i would think they would blend it into being a crime,thriller,not necessarily a police procedural.
ReplyDeleteHaven't read the books, but it sounds like it could be interesting.
