Protecting. Serving. Blah Blah Blah.

Cutting-edge actor/comedian Denis Leary (The Thomas Crown Affair, The Ref) stars as Mike McNeil, a New York City detective whose toughest assignment is himself. He's struggling to balance a challenging personal life with a job that leaves him wondering on a daily basis if he is the last sane person in New York. His unconventional approach to his job makes him a great cop, even on the most trying days. The only thing he can't figure out is why, if he's the only sane guy around, everyone's always looking at him like he's crazy.

McNeil's fellow detectives in the precinct include his loyal partner, Pip (Bill Nunn), who is sometimes challenged by McNeil's roving moral compass; Frank (Lenny Clarke), a seasoned vet who has seen it all, done it all, and is happy to take it easy till retirement; Jan (Diane Farr), a gutsy single mom who is unafraid to upbraid McNeil when he needs it; Tommy (Adam Ferrara), a by-the-book cop who occasionally butts heads with him; and Ruben (John Ortiz), an earnest rookie who, along with his young partner Al (Julian Acosta), is learning what real police work is all about. Lt. Williams (Keith David) oversees all the detectives.

The Job is a single-camera, half-hour comedy series shot entirely on location in New York and New Jersey, and unites Leary with Emmy Award-winning writer Peter Tolan (The Larry Sanders Show).
