Tough female cops fight crime on the streets of New York City while battling chauvinism in the workplace. When the going gets tough they seek refuge in the ladies' room, where only viewers can see them let down their guards and show their vulnerability. For the depth they brought to the roles of best friends and trusted partners, Sharon Gless (Cagney) and Tyne Daly (Lacey) collected seven Emmys between them, saw the show revived from cancellation twice and starred in four made-for-TV movies.
