I do think Lifetime needs to get back into the real drama business. The shows aside from Drop Dead Diva and Army Wives has not been very stellar or interesting of late. (Army Wives even at times veers into the way too mushy territory)

They’ve ordered three pilots all with a police theme (a fourth possible show is an Army Wives spin-off also with a police focus)

The shows include: (Descriptions from Variety)
Against the Wall created by Annie Brunner (“Huff”). Show “is about a policewoman who joins the Chicago Police Dept.’s internal affairs division — causing a rift with her cop brothers.”

Exit 19 created by Jeffrey Bell (“V”) and exec producers Nina Wass and Gene Stein.  Show “centers on a single mother who juggles parenthood with her job as an NYPD cop.”

Untitled Berman Project, “which centers on a San Diego police detective who’s the mother of two and on the verge of divorce.”

Lifetime needs to have more shows with female creators and female showrunners.
