Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
“Rescue Me” is only one of the shows that has helped FX corner the market on workplace dramas built around anti-heroes: good men weighed down by bad behavior. Here’s a look at the others:
“Thief”
In Season 1, thief Nick Atwater (Andre Braugher, right) had to deal with his wife’s death, his angry stepdaughter, a crooked cop and the Chinese mafia–all while getting his unruly crew ready for a heist.
“The Shield”
L.A. detective Vic Mackey (Michael Chiklis, right) and his crooked Strike Team spend as much time fighting fellow cops as they do criminals.
“Nip/Tuck”
Amoral South Beach plastic surgeon Christian Troy (Julian McMahon, right) clashes with his good-guy partner, Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh).
