A short-lived Buddy Cop Show which ran on USA Network in 2012. The series follows two Los Angeles Police Department homicide detectives, Travis Marks and Wes Mitchell, who can't stand each other. The constant bickering between the two partners prompts their commanding officer, Captain Phil Sutton, to send them to a couple's therapist, Dr. Emma Ryan, in hopes of resolving the situation.

Tropes used in Common Law include:

• By-The-Book Cop: Wes
• Buddy Cop Show
• Cowboy Cop: Travis
• The Casanova: Travis, who has dated almost every woman in the precinct.
• Homoerotic Subtext: One of the cornerstones of the series.
