Sadly Over-hyped

Overrated

It is a performances centric movie

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

When I saw the last episode of season 2, I was sad because the TV series for which I used to wait whole week for, just aired their last episode of the season and to satisfy my curiosity I googled the air date of the next season. I was so sad that it was not only the last episode of the season but it is the last episode of the series. I had just asked my friends to watch it as it was the most interesting TV series of the season. It is a really sad thing that we won't be able to see such strong characters and plot anymore.

Alice Vaughan (Mireille Enos) runs an L.A. security and investigation firm with partner Valerie Anderson (Rose Rollins). Danny Yoon and Sophie Novak are her associates. She is shocked when her fiancé Christopher Hall (Peter Krause) turns out to be Benjamin Jones aka Mr. X, a con man who has been taunting her. His lover Margot Bishop (Sonya Walger) and her mother Sybil Griffiths run the international criminal conglomerate, the Kensington Firm. They are later joined by Margot and Ben's long-abandoned daughter Tessa Riley (Philippa Coulthard) and often criminal partner Rhys (John Simm). Tommy Vaughan (T.R. Knight) is Alice's loser wannabe criminal brother. Justine Diaz (Gina Torres) is the FBI agent.Enos and Krause are terrific actors. It's interesting that they're leading this fun twisty Shondaland show. They may not have the highest of sex appeal but they are able to give it depth. The focus skewed more and more towards the criminal side as the show develops. That's really the best side to get at this show. A procedural of Vaughan trying to catch criminals is a different show and not as fun or sexy. This got canceled after two 10-episodes seasons.

Not seeing the first season of 'The Catch', I paid careful attention to the recap of last season at the beginning of the episode. With that and viewing the first 30 minutes of this show, I'm trying to figure out why it was ever renewed. 'The Catch' must be geared to a certain demographic with very low standards for both interesting story lines and quality acting. Moronic dialogue, cheesy plot lines...and the WORST fake city backdrop I've ever seen. Seriously, high school drama clubs make more professional scenery than was done for this show. Just awful.

I liked this show for about six or seven episodes. When Mireille Enos's character began to fall again for Krause's character after he had made such a fool of her I tried to hang in there. (Maybe he was going to listen to his heart and change sides). But he seemed to want to keep on with the bad guys. Then, when The female villain, Sonya Walger, masquerades as Mureille's therapist that did it. How could she wind up as a fake therapist when she was busy conning and robbing people every moment of her life? It was too far-fetched. (How would she even know Mureille was going to need a therapist???) To have to listen to Mireille's character tell Sonya's character all about her love of the very man Sonya loved . . . . I couldn't even try to sit through it.
