What I Say
Not sure about this one. David Morse is very likable and Donna Murphy is hot. I treat this a little like last year's "The Guardian," which I completely missed. Feels like a younger, hipper "Murder, She Wrote."
My Analysis & Prediction
I see this one sticking around for awhile; it'll split the audience with "Dateline" & "That Was Then." David Morse is another one of those "I know him" faces -- and he's a good actor. The supporting cast here is one of the best on television...even overlooking my affinity for Donna Murphy.
What They Say
A decorated police officer is fired after he's seen taking money from a crime scene. Now a cab driver, he considers how he can still fight crime after a one of his passengers is beaten and another one asks him to help locate his missing daughter.

HACK is a drama about Mike Olshansky (David Morse), an ex-cop turned taxi driver who seeks redemption by fighting for and righting the wrongs of others. Once a decorated police officer, Mike is abruptly kicked off the force after he's caught taking money from a crime scene. With his law enforcement career in tatters, Mike begrudgingly embraces his new life as a cabbie, a job that requires long days and nights and a steady supply of caffeine and eye drops. When one of his passengers is beaten by a group of thugs, and when another asks him to help locate a missing daughter, Mike realizes he can still use his police know-how to help those in need. As he contemplates moonlighting as a crime solver, he seeks support and assistance from his longtime friends, including former partner Marcellus Washington (Andre Braugher), who is eager to repay Mike after he kept silent a secret that could shatter his own police career. Marcellus, forever in Mike's debt, gives him the inside information Mike needs to help others, while Mike assists him in doing the work a cop can't do. Father Tom "Grizz" Grzelak (George Dzundza) is both Mike's drinking buddy and forthright friend. At home, Mike faces drama of a different sort from his estranged wife, Heather (Donna Murphy), and son, Michael Jr. (Matthew Borish) The closer he examines his own life, the more Mike finds himself unable to stop intervening in the troubled lives of others.
