A friend of mine downloaded the preair premiere, and said it was kind of crap. The main actor lacked Simms' charisma, and by setting the show in LA, they really took away from one of the central themes (the newer, gentler policing as contrasted to past boorish practices). Also, they gloss over the racism and sexism of cops in the 70s a lot more than they do in the original.
I downloaded it too, but couldn't bother watching it. The main actor is kind of ape-like.
