The greatest movie ever made..!
... View MoreIt's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
... View MoreTells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
... View MoreThe film may be flawed, but its message is not.
... View MoreAbby Kowalski (Rachael Carpani) comes from a long line of policemen. Her father (Treat Williams) and three brothers are all cops. She is frustrated with the lack of opportunities and takes a job in Internal Affairs which causes a rift in the family. She investigates police misconduct with partner Lina Flores (Marisa Ramirez).Lifetime attempts do something here. Maybe the problem is that they didn't take on more risk. Or else they could have more than 13 episodes. The acting is good. There is some good family drama along with the standard police procedural. The two female police partners may be the pitch for Lifetime. This is a good show but I don't know how committed is the network. It just doesn't feel like a Lifetime show.
... View MoreThe only reason I decided to check out this program was because I saw the promos showing Chicago.If you are from Chicago, you can clearly see this show is not filmed in Chicago. The only shots from Chicago are the transition scenes.The actual scenes in the program don't even remotely resemble the Chicago area. Where's the green street lights, there are no wooden picnic benches in Chicago parks, they are not "Divisions" they are called districts.If you are going to make a show based in Chicago, put some effort into making it look and feel real.Showing the skyline, an 'L' train, the River, the Lake, etc. doesn't make it Chicago.Show FAILS!
... View MoreI wanted to LOVE this show because I loved Rachel Carpini from Mcleod's Daughters but unfortunately this is a terrible show. I am not a prude so the sex scenes don't bother me in that way, it's the whole idea that the female lead has no other coping skills other than to have sex. Does she have any female friends to talk to? I don't know if the writers think it makes her look like a modern independent woman but it really just makes her look pathetic and male dependent. It would be sooo nice to see a female lead hanging out with girlfriends, or heaven forbid, have her own hobbies. Also, the family situation stresses me out. A totally dysfunctional family with no boundaries and no real respect. It reminds me of why I couldn't make it through more than about 6 episodes of Brothers and Sisters. Skip it.
... View MoreThis show is very disappointing. It is full of casual sex scenes. I think the female lead character has a real sex addiction problem. I don't care if she is 30 yrs. old, we don't need to see her having casual sex, ever. What ever happened to mystery, and leaving things to the imagination? I thought having Kathy Baker and Treat Williams in the show would bring class, but apparently they will take any role. The concept and idea are interesting and the acting is pretty good. I am also from Chicago so I was happy to see the Chicago scenes and references in the dialog. It could have been a really good show, as the crime stories have been pretty interesting and the family dynamics are good. Unfortunately, the creators of the show apparently get their thrills watching the female lead half-naked acting out sexual situations. If there are actually people who act like that, I don't want to know about it and no one needs to watch it on TV.
