His mannerisms, his eyes, his body language, they're all great, but you'd need to find the cybernetic equivalent of Olivier to pull of that dialogue.

Yeah, agree, with the caveat that Vaughn is pretty much the only thing on the show worth watching. Woodrug has basically no character. He's a repressed homosexual i guess? McAdams is going to be spun off into Milf Cop:The Series. The Vinci PD is semi interesting I guess, but only cause it's like a cartoon corruption squad. The black cop who's always in the background is doing a ton with basically no lines.
