Sick Product of a Sick System

Just perfect...

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The books they based the series on,are excellent,the series on the other hand is quite bad.Book vs TV series. In the Books they are truly professional. They disagrees sometimes,and bicker a bit ,since one of the two is a neat freak.But till act like professionals.TV Series. They act like fumbling idiots. One always leaves/ forget his gun in the glove compartment, or at home in a drawer. And he is suppose to be an ex secret service agent. I mean c'mon. He always has his back to, whatever it is that's gonna come up on him. Even in the most highly alerted situations.Now the chemistry and the acting isn't all that either. They mostly look Bored, and have the facial expression ,of just going through the motion for a pay check. The two of them might be actors,and be able to act.But they sure don't show it on this showThis is like a crime/PI show for lonely housewives or stay at home mums. Kind of along he line of the TV show Matlock.=The cases get solved through a bit unorthodox methods.But mostly very peacefully and none violently

I thought the main characters plus Edgar & Benny were acted excellently. As a person at age 72 and a military/political historian for over fifty yrs and a 28 yr active duty Vet, as far as firearms are concerned as the survivor of TWO shootings initiated by perps, who erred by bringing pistols to a shotgun fight and were terminated for their idiocy.And for the facts that over my life, there have been many incidents where the perps were discouraged by finding themselves facing either firearms or various edged weapons, to the point that they vacated the area with no damage to anyone.Plus knowing of one recent attempt at car-jacking that was ended when the perp became aware that the driver he had ordered to turn over the keys, was in the process of drawing a 1911 Colt .45. The alleged car-jacker disappeared quickly. This took place in a mall parking lot close to a market.In conclusion, only those who either never had any untoward events in their lives or those who did not survive, would allege that weapons, firearms or edged are not effective.

Great show, love the lead characters Kate and Sean as well as Edgar. Also like the continuation of exploring the past with Sean and Edgar continuing to blossom in role. Also really like the humor with mystery. Jon Tenney is so likable,strong and sexy. Each episode has been consistently interesting, with a surprise in each one. Not sure where going with delving into the shooting that caused him to leave Secret Service but would be great to see the mystery solved and his continuation as Private Eye. 10 lines of text for a review is a lot for me. Usually like to use quick comments of reaction rather than going deep into explanations of why I like something. I like this show, think the critics are wrong in panning it and look forward to watching this each week, along with Major Crimes. Like the Closer as well and Major Crimes is great follow up.

To be honest I cannot say that I'm crazy about this show. But it isn't a bad one. Quite similar to Castle but in this case both are cops unlike in castle. There is some chemistry between the characters and the guys' personality is likable. Not sure of the girl though. But I get the feeling that the story lacks the depth and twists we would like to see in a crime show. The crime solving is pretty fast with very little resources which would make it too fictional. And I don't see the point of pointing out the two as former secret service agents since that doesn't add up anything to the story or their characters. For instance such would tend to make the show have more action. But in this case it contains action a regular show would have. That is quite disappointing. It would be harsh to judge the show by just watching the pilot but I get a feeling that this might turn out to be a good show.
