Season 1

Season one picks up where the original made-for-TV movie left off--with Cagney and Lacey on their first undercover assignment as prostitutes. Other episodes introduce Cagney's father, a retired cop that helps out with a case, investigation of a human smuggling ring, and accusations of racism in the wake of a gang murder.
