Best movie of this year hands down!

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

I LOVE this show, where did it go??? I enjoyed watching this show and I all of a sudden do not find it in my TV listings on Wednesday nights. The show is Fast paced, quick thinking, extremely entertaining. Good stories, plots, action. I enjoyed the old series and it is a great to have a re-make. Any cameos from prior cast members would be a nice touch if possible. Blair is quick witted and believable. His eagerness to help his partner get back on his feet and back in the action is a good story line as well. I like that each character has a specialty that can be played upon in the show. Finance is a favorite of mine and I am intrigued when the plot focuses on criminals in the financial world. The casting was right on. The staging is creative, the team's offices outside of the police station are well done. I like drama, detective, medical, and comedy shows just to name a few. Shows with a lot of action like, Elementary, Persons Of Interest, Blue Bloods, Revenge, Covert Affairs, Good Wife,NCIS, CSI-LA, are just a few of my favorites and Ironside falls right at the top of that list. Ironside is full of suspense and at times humor, it definitely is an attention keeper. I like the flash back portions, as no matter where you decide to tune in you will be able to follow the story line. This also adds to the flavor of each episode. I hope the series continues for a long time.

A very good first episode with an interesting angle on a standard 'murder or suicide' plot. Blair Underwood makes an exciting and more hands on Robert Ironside. His interactions with suspects reminded me of what Columbo would do if he wanted the suspect to know how smart he really was. Pablo Schreiber is great as the out of control detective Virgil. The obligatory origin episodes kept the rest of the Ironside team from being fleshed out but hopefully the show will be kept on long enough for that to happen. The show is so much different than the original Ironside that I wish it wasn't a remake but was its own show with Underwood not having to co-star with a wheelchair.

This was the first episode. It was an infomercial for the show. As mentioned above the actors were well chosen and competent in their roles. I DO wonder why they moved the setting to New York. (They could have stuck with San Francisco and shot in Oregon, Washington or Vancouver).The writers should not expect to use Blair Underwood's sex appeal to push the series along. (This didn't work with Jimmy Smits in "Outlaw"). Furthermore, they shouldn't trade on nostalgia for the old series (like they did with the failed Bionic Woman and Knight Rider attempts).This IS the gritty, sexy Robert Ironside that was promised. BUT RAISE THE BAR on the WRITING. (Think: Law and Order franchise, West Wing, E.R.). Some of it HAS to be about police work and criminals.

Despite the great casting and blair underwood's guaranteed emmy nominated performance as Michael ironside, this is a very dull and ultimately predicable remake of a 1967-75 classic starring the late great Raymond burr about a police officer who is shot and paralyzed into a wheelchair for a lifetime and in order to solved cases on his own, in the original he was a san Francisco police detective, but in the remake he is a NYC Police detective, the teleplay does not work, the story is a mess, the writing is ultimately useless and the editing is just plain unwatchable, although is not nearly as dreadful as the extremely horrible knight rider was in 2008, but still very disappointing, although the cast is fine in their roles, but the remake just doesn't do justice for me, so I Have to give this one a thumbs down for me.
