Fastlane was Buddy Cop Show that ran on FOX from September 2002 to May 2003. It was centered around the Candy Store, a base of operations for deep-undercover cops with access to the most impressive cars, weapons, and other confiscated toys. Their motto: Everything we seize, we keep; everything we keep, we use. Their goal: infiltrate various big-name crime organizations and take down their leaders. Pretty much like Miami Vice, but in the City of Angels.The show is notable for its licensed soundtrack, laundry list of guest stars, unconventional cinematography, and impressive pyrotechnics. Unfortunately, all of that contributed to the show's ludicrously high production costs, averaging at about $2.6 million per episode. That coupled with the dip in ratings from the move to the Friday Night Death Slot ensured its swift cancellation. The cast included: Peter Facinelli as Donavan "Van" Ray, a Cowboy Cop for the LAPD who was roped into working for the Candy Store after stealing a hundred grand for a botched car deal that ended with the murder of his partner, Andre Hayes. Bill Bellamy as Deaqon "Deaq" Hayes, an ex-gangbanger turned narcotics detective for the NYPD. Returned to Los Angeles after his brother Andre was killed. Tiffani Thiessen as Wilhemina "Billie" Chambers, the lieutenant in charge of the Candy Store. Big Boy as Aquarius, Deaqon's link to the streets. If the Candy Store needs information or credibility, he's the one they turn to. | |

Cool Old Guy: Ray Ray, Van's father. Who happens to be a Con Man that exploits said coolness to make people drop their guard around him (Van has been around him long enough to develop savviness and keep his guard up, but the plot constantly conspires to have him Made Out to Be a Jerkass when he orders his own father to assume the position for frisking, for example (turns out he got a gun from a contact). | |

The Man Behind the Man: At first, crime lord Cyrus seems like the Villain of the Week of "Defense/Offense", but then it's revealed his girlfriend Skylar is actually an undercover FBI agent who's gone rogue and is using him to build her own criminal empire. She soon not only sets up Cyrus to be killed, but also manipulates their lieutenants into killing each other until the next boss is a man who's already been seduced by her, and she keeps ruling from behind the scenes under his name. | |

Psycho Prototype: A rare non-technology/super-soldier example. Turns out that Van and Deaq were the second iterations of the "Candy Store" project, and Billie had tried Recruiting the Criminal to play an undercover cop. Much to her surprise, the criminal she chose turned out to be manipulative enough to not set off any of her alarms up until the moment he tried to kill her and steal the Store's contents for himself-and then ran away when Billie fought back. | |

If You Kill Him, You Will Be Just Like Him! | |
| Fastlane / int_554063c6 | comment |
If You Kill Him, You Will Be Just Like Him!: In the pilot, Van implores Deaq not to kill the Dirty Cop that murdered Andre, as he would just be throwing his life away, and even quotes the line. The situation is resolved when Cassidy ends up killing the Dirty Cop instead. Subverted and yet played straight in another episode. Billie has the criminal who ruined her life at gunpoint when one of her male partners arrives and yells, "Don't do it! Not like this! (Dramatic pause) Use my gun! It has a larger caliber so it will be more satisfying." Her other partner has a similar do-it-this-way comment, but they're both using reverse psychology to convince her not to kill the criminal, and it ends up working. | |

Internal Affairs: "Defense/Offense" two-parter features the Candy Store being temporarily closed down by stuffy IA officer Rolland while he investigated their operation. But he turns out not to be a total Strawman and ends up siding with the protagonists against the corrupt FBI agent in the end. During the episode's climactic shootout, he even ends up saving Billie's life by shooting a bad guy who gets the drop on her. | |

Shower Scene: Cassidy gets a fanservice heavy shower scene in "Slippery Slope", with several Male Gaze shots of her body as she sexy poses for nobody under the shower spray, though the camera stays above her shoulders for the most part. It is also torture for Van, who is waiting outside and has to hear her shower while not trying to think about her naked. When she comes out in just a Modesty Towel and drops it in front of him, he succumbs to her seduction and ends up sleeping with her. | |

Where Does He Get All Those Wonderful Toys? | |

Where Does He Get All Those Wonderful Toys?: The 'Candy Store' base of operations is stocked by the seizure of assets from criminals: all the best cars/weapons/designer clothes/etc that would normally go up for auction are sent to the Candy Store instead. Its motto is "Everything we seize, we keep. Everything we keep, we use." This gives an In-Universe excuse for the leads to be as glamorous as they want. | |

Shaking Her Hair Loose | |
| Fastlane / int_d5974c25 | comment |
Shaking Her Hair Loose: Billie is introduced offering her hairpin for Van to use as a Hairpin Lockpick, and she does so while shaking off her hair loose from the Prim and Proper Bun hairstyle she had before. Ironically she never wears her hair in a Prim and Proper Bun ever again, meaning the only reason she had it in the first place was so she could do the trope. | |
