Hi everyone!  Rob here, one of the writers' assistants for the new group of writers starting this season.  We just finished shooting our second episode (which will air fourth), and I couldn't believe how many awesome locations we shot at all over the city-at all hours of the day and night.  Last week, we filmed at Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, a townhouse in Hell's Kitchen, outside the New York City Supreme Court building on Centre Street, and the middle of Times Square, where we rented a jumbo-tron and turned it into a giant green-screen while we shot.  People on their way to work seemed pretty confused to see Ice-T and Richard Belzer pointing at a giant blank green screen... but at 7am, I think most were too tired to question it...

 This week, we shot a teaser sequence and an action sequence way up in Inwood, in and around Fort Tryon Park-an amazing and ridiculously picturesque park that doesn't seem like it should be in Manhattan, but is.  It's been a long week, but worth it!  This year, the writers are focused on making New York City a character in the show, and we're filming in locations all over Manhattan.
 
If you live or work in the city, keep an eye out for our crew-we might be in your neighborhood next!
