Common Law

Storyline

TV has had its share of odd couples through the years, and odd couple is the best way to describe LAPD detectives Travis Marks and Wes Mitchell. Marks is a former juvenile delinquent and a maverick ladies man while Mitchell is a former lawyer who sacrificed his marriage to become a cop. The pair has a seven-year track record as two of the finest detectives in the department's Robbery-Homicide Division, but the two have a problem -- each other. When their bickering starts to have an impact on their work, their new-age captain sends them to couples' therapy in an attempt to reignite the flame in their "work marriage." Enter Dr. Ryan, a tough-as-nails therapist tasked with helping Marks and Mitchell understand and resolve their conflicts in order to enhance their ability to continue solving crimes.
