For his performance in the lead role of Martin McHenry in the season opener, "The Box," Laurence Fishburne won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series.[6]
Noted for attracting "actors, screenwriters and directors of uncommon quality,"[7] and set in New York City's lower Manhattan neighborhood of TriBeCa, the series was aired by the Fox Broadcasting Company. Guest stars included Eli Wallach, Kevin Spacey, Kathleen Quinlan, Melanie Mayron, Judith Malina, Carl Lumbly, Richard Lewis, Carol Kane, Richard Kiley, Dizzy Gillespie and Danny Aiello III.
Directors and screenwriters included David J. Burke, Hans Tobeason, John Mankiewicz of the prolific Mankiewicz family, Barry Primus, Bryan Spicer, Jeffrey Solomon and several actors in the series, among others.
Despite critical acclaim, Fox cancelled the show after seven episodes because of low ratings, although the existing episodes were rerun in the summer. Fishburne's Emmy win came in September, months after the show had been cancelled.
