off-the-books elite task force - The D.O.P.E Unit (Drug Operational Police Enforcement Unit. To dismantle and take down the Roth crime family. The Philadelphia setting and backdrop was a major plus for me. The Authentic energy that makes the city itself feel like a character. And the screen chemistry between the actors is solid. I noticed Cornell Young (A Different world) as Maurice Mac Machine Mo in the series, he added another layer of street power dynamics to the show. I see why the shows backdrop was Philadelphia, the shows creator and writer is Thomas Walton, who is from Philly. I must say - if you like crime dramas that feel grounded, with good chemistry and a backdrop that breathes authenticity, then Dope Unit is worth your time.
