I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

NYPD detective Laura Diamond (Debra Messing) has rambunctious twin boys and divorcing from her husband Jake Broderick (Josh Lucas). Of course, he's her boss. Billy Soto (Laz Alonso) and Meredith Bose (Janina Gavankar) become detective partners and later personal partners. Max Carnegie (Max Jenkins) is Laura's irreplaceable helper. In the last half of the first season, Frankie Pulaski (Meg Steedle) joins the squad. In the second season, Frankie is gone and they get a new captain in Nancy Santiani (Callie Thorne).This show starts horribly. The kids are terribly annoying. As much as I like Debra Messing, I can't stand her character's life. The show gets better as the kids get phased out. Her private life isn't front and center as much. I like the addition of Frankie to add some light likability. Then she gets dropped in favorite of another annoying character, Santiani. Eventually, her character gets explained and then dropped. At its best, the show is nothing more than a passable police procedural. The problem is that it's not even at that passable level for most of its run. A two season run is more than what it deserves.

I knew of the show and knew that it starred Debra Messing but didn't really have any interest in watching it.The season had ended in America and an ad was played on Australian TV to promote the series coming soon, it looked decent so I though I'd give it a go.I am glad I did. This is such an amazing show.Normally I get bored of police shows, they tend to be the same thing every episode, and while this is exactly that, the comedy and the family drama give it a different spin every episode.While Debra Messing may be the major star and the headliner, this is very much an ensemble cast. I love the whole cast; they all work together brilliantly but also individually and in pairs.It's amazingly written, exceptionally acted, quirky, funny, refreshing, different and yet down to earth and normal.Not having any interest in the beginning and therefore not reading anything on the show, I was VERY pleasantly surprised to see Eric McCormack in an episode. Hopefully Megan Mullally is next!I will 100% be watching Season Two weekly when it returns!*******SEASON TWO******** I loved Season One but got a little nervous about this season; can the magic last for another year?It does!It's obviously still a cop show, a good and smart one, but it's also funny as well as a lot of family drama which makes the show different and entertaining.Debra Messing and the rest of the cast are still awesome to watch, individually and in groups. While this is Messing's show, no one is overshadowed and everyone get his or her time to shine with and without Debra Messing.We do lose Meg Steedle, who played Frankie Pulaski, over the season break with only a couple of seconds of explanation and it's just the usual transferred out excuse.As I said in my Season One review, which still applies to Season Two "It's amazingly written, exceptionally acted, quirky, funny, refreshing, different and yet down to earth and normal."Will most definitely be watching Season Three.

This show doesn't get enough credit, it's an awesome family/cop show and my mum and i bond over it. It's got terrific plot lines and is holding up its plot much better than shows like castle or blacklist. its dumb that NBC isn't going to order any more episodes , frankly , it's probably the best show they've got. I feel like lately a lot of shows are just losing plot lines so fast, they become boring and severely tiring to watch. Mysteries of Laura literally has almost everything :its funny, serious, it's a cop show , it's got romance, friendship, good feminism, and its bad ass entertainment !

Maybe it's because I relate to her character with the straying husband (now my ex also), the 2 children, full-time job, etc, but I love this show. As for the crime & figuring out whodunit, I haven't seen much difference from other cop shows, so to give that aspect a bad review makes it obvious that person is just down on this show, not the content. Yes, I am a fan of Debra Messing and I'm so excited to see her portraying a character that is so strong yet so maternal. And yes, it's a plus that I get to watch Josh Lucas on TV after falling for him on the big screen. I truly enjoy this show! I find myself laughing at all the little jokes, the play on words, and whatever else tickles my funny bone. And when the hour is done, I find myself in good humor! This show makes me smile!
