Supporting characters include Captain Richard Page ( Richard Gant), SU2's commanding officer with a prosthetic metal hand that serves as the focus of running gags. Kate's tenacity and conviction leads to her recruitment by Special Unit 2. Her refusal to deny her observations jeopardizes her career as a police officer and estranges her from her fellow officers.

(It would later be revealed that Nick and Julie were having a secret affair.) Kate is one of the rare individuals who acknowledge the existence of Links instead of finding a more acceptable (albeit incorrect) explanation for the traditionally unexplained phenomena that they cause. A criminal called The Chameleon cut her up into "600 inch-sized cubes". His initially callous, jaded and at times cruel demeanor is revealed to be a result of guilt over the loss of his previous partner Julie. Nick is a maverick veteran in Special Unit 2. Other units of the police department are specifically ordered to stay out of Special Unit 2's way, which provides a great deal of leeway and access for cases.ĭetective Nick O'Malley ( Michael Landes) and his newly assigned partner, Detective Kate Benson ( Alexondra Lee), are the two central characters. Special Unit 2 is the top-secret division of the Chicago police specifically designated to handle Link-related cases. On occasions when Links are seen by humans, they are usually dismissed as hallucinations or optical illusions, except by those who are especially perceptive. They live in hiding and/or disguise among the human population. "Links" are the common monsters from folklore and mythology (except vampires, whose existence is specifically identified as preposterous), and are described as being the missing link between apes and humans (although other human-like species have evolved, for instance gargoyles, who are identified as humanoid descendants of dinosaurs).


It was cancelled after nineteen episodes due to a change in UPN's management. It was filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia.
