"The show would focus on a set of characters who are the Star Fleet equivalent of an internal affairs bureau on a cop show. These characters would investigate reports of Prime Directive violations. They'd conduct interviews of underlings on starships, and they'd sweat the starship captains they're investigating in gritty-yet-futuristic interrogation rooms. And, they'd give us a fuller picture of what is at stake in upholding the Prime Directive -- and of what kind of fallout intergalactic cultures might experience in the wake of some starship captain violating it for what seemed, at the time, like good reasons."
