The lead character, New York Detective Jim Dunbar, was blinded in a shootout when his partner failed to cover him. He could have retired with a full pension after his injury, but instead fought to remain on the job determined to prove he still has what it takes and be an asset.
A kind of live-action 'Beavis and Butt-head,' inspired by a British series, about boorish male roommates who mostly drink beer excessively when they're not otherwise acting superficial, horny and slovenly.
