    The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

    One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

    This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

    I really enjoy this show, all the main characters are believable. I'm not a Law & Order Fan, and I don't compare Murder in the First to it. I like the so called slow pace. A lot of times shows start off so fast you don't a chance to understand the character. I'm only half way through the first season but so far so good. I don't usually care for cop shows, but this one is a winner. I am a Taye Diggs Fan, I liked him as much if not more in this, than some of his earlier works for example, Private Practice and How Stella Got her Groove back. His costar Im not as familiar with, but she does a good job as well. James Cromwell was great as well, I enjoy several of his movies as well, for instance Six Feet Under.

    If you want to watch a gripping story line, incredible characters played out by engrossing actors, you need to watch the 1995 first season of Murder One. This is the real deal. Murder in the First was boring from the get go. The characters were weak and self-absorbed. The acting was poor and the players appeared bored. That Hildy character was not believable for even one moment- please with the single mom shtick. Boring story line with a techie character that needed to be slapped regularly. By the fourth episode I was gone. The defense attorney was a big blowhard-- no Daniel Benzali for sure. Hopefully there will be no second season; but alas I fear there will be. Another loser for TNT. Watch Murder One if you get the chance. It is compelling.

    Not what I expected. The cast is good, but it's like the Killing. It goes on and on. Every week it's about the same thing. Not like watching other shows - that every week have a new theme, which makes things more exciting. It misses creativity. Very disappointed. Gave up and will not watch again. And what happened about someone actually mourning about the loss of a loved one, and all of a sudden is trying to hook up with his co-worker. It is very cold. I want to be excited, led on every week to a new journey. I don't see it coming. The acting is good, but the writing is mediocre and long lasting. Each or at least every few weeks it should change. I am not interested in mini-series, and that's what this seems to be. This does not get my attention

    Robertson and Diggs are terrific as English and Mulligan, in the same class as Brennan and Booth and Castle and Beckett. Direction is outstanding as is cinematography, both filling each episode with visual nuances that Diggs and Robertson perform flawlessly. Secondary characters are equally good, for the most part. So - Well crafted, well acted and a pleasure to watch.But, as always, detest repeat villains and drawn-out to the point of soap-opry-ness plots. And, it seems, the whole first season is going to be the Saga of Blunt. Wish they'd have opted for a more traditional episodic format.That said, I'll take it since, while tiresome, Blunt doesn't succeed in blunting (sorry, irresistible) the pleasure of watching all of the other parts mesh.One of those parts is Steven Weber, formerly of Wings and a short stint on Without a Trace, as Bill Wilkerson. MIF completes his trifecta; he's actually able to play out-of-control hysteria with understatement. Part of that nuance I mentioned. As is Tom Felton, who pushes Blunt right up to the edge of "strangle-him-on-sight", regardless of his guilt.Like Bones, Castle and, to a lesser degree, The Mentalist, the point is the interaction between the characters. For me, MIF matches the best while adding its own, unique style of getting there.
