More like Doomtown, am I right?

Boomtown was an earnest police drama set in Los Angeles that aired in the early 2000s. With Band of Brothers alumnus Graham Yost at the helm, the show initially attempted to employ an innovative non-linear approach to storytelling. Then network executives swooped in during the second season, and changed it into a flavorless police procedural.

Season two premiered on September 26, 2003. The show quickly got yanked from the air, until NBC dumped four episodes in late December.

In this final season, the show introduces Vanessa Williams as Detective Katherine Pierce. Donnie Wahlberg's LAPD Detective Joel Stevens, Mykelti Williamson's LAPD Detective Bobby "Fearless" Smith, Neal McDonough's Assistant District Attorney David McNorris, Gary Basaraba's LAPD Officer Ray Hechler, Jason Gedrick's LAPD Officer Tom Turcotte, and Lana Parilla's EMT Teresa Ortiz also return.

Listen as Áine and Kevin boo this season's baffling storytelling choices, investigate an unnamed host's crush on Rebecca De Mornay, and bid a booming farewell to a once-promising show.
