Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Dick Wolf specifically pitched this as 'Miami Vice in Harlem' to NBC, demanding diverse leads at a time when network TV rarely centered Black and Latino perspectives in hour-long dramas.

Trivia

The fictional Natalie's nightclub hosted actual performances by Aaliyah, Notorious B.I.G., and Keith Sweat—making it arguably the most stacked fictional venue in TV history.
