Synopsis

TV Series (2003-2004). Smart. Sexy. Tough. Karen Sisco is a United States marshal on Miami's Gold Coast. In pursuit of dangerous fugitives, Karen must pick her way through the dark underbelly of South Beach nightlife and the sunshine and glitz of Palm Beach highlife while she struggles to win the respect of her supervisor and fellow officers. Karen is a barely concealed weapon who can take down a suspect twice her size. The only man she truly trusts is her father a retired marshal with a wealth of life experience and street smarts. He's Karen's confidant, counselor, confessor and her rock when her confidence wavers which it does every time she tries to connect romantically with a man. Based on the character portrayed by Jennifer Lopez in Elmore Leonard's "Out of Sight", Karen Sisco is that rare combination of action and character-drama, with a fresh and original young lead.

Critics' reviews

"The best new network show of the season...It's bright, it's dark, it's stylized, it's realistic"

Linda Stasi: New York Post
"Sisco smolders but never flames up or burns out, played by Gugino with a steady, unflinching calm that reflects a character who never makes presumptions"

Phil Rosenthal: Chicago Sun-Times
"A witty, mature drama that can hit both the chest and the heart."

James Poniewozik: Time
"If you're looking for the season's smartest, most comfy and engaging new thriller, 'Sisco' is it.

Ken Tucker: Entertainment Weekly
"If 'Karen Sisco' can keep its tart tone, heady pacing and scripts that continue to respect viewers' intelligence, there ought to be an audience for this."

Steve Johnson: Chicago Tribune
