    An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

    I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

    Stumbled on this show while searching for TV shows to binge watch. Apparently, it got canceled after less than a season. The series had a good plot and had potential. But the main character and his partner do not have chemistry. It would have been better if they slowed down the tempo and make the story unfold, made it darker/grittier and hired more sympathetic actors for the main character and his partner. The writing and cinematography could be better. I'd cast Jim Caviezel and Michael Pena.

    If you are looking for an exciting fast paced drama after the disappointing line up fall has had to offer def. check out Wicked City. ABC def saved the best for last saving standout actor Ed Westwick (Gossip Girl) paired up with the equally talented Erika Christensen. The two take us on a Bonnie & Clyde like adventure filled with lots of action, suspense, & great musical soundtrack. The series is different in that you see each point of view given its own substantial air time and instead of waiting episode after episode to find out who did it (Pretty Little Liars) anyone which can be tiresome we already now! The excitement is in the chase of will they or won't they get caught! Westwick shows just how diverse his acting is and this is just the beginning of what is shaping up to be an amazing life long career for the young British Actor. The cast also features Taissa Farmiga popular for her work in (AHS) and Jeremy Sisto who has had many great roles over the years as a sharp but flawed detective dealing with issues of his own. Gabriel Luna & Karolina Wydra are ones to watch as well! Be sure to check this series out of you are looking for a fresh new series to dive into! Also the series will take on an entirely different case each season which will keep things interesting although I will personally miss the steamy chemistry between Westwick & Christensen on screen.

    There's an odd critic backlash against "Wicked City" because of "violence against women". Uhh... it's a show about a detective pursuing a serial killer similar to Hillside Strangler, who targeted women. It is fiction, centered around certain subject matter which alludes to, unfortunately, some real history. And when it comes to actual graphic scenes, they're tame compared to a show like "CSI" or "Bones", never even mind "Dexter". Or "Zodiac". Or "SE7EN".So what's next, are we gonna hear that "12 Years A Slave" is racist because it shows abuse of African-Americans? Clearly, they've been singled out by that movie! Is that how low the bar has fallen, that we now want to keep storytelling on a politically-correct leash, to strip it of any edge or rawness, dare it not offend anyone? I hope not, because that will be the end.Compared to your generic procedurals like CSI: CITY or NCIS: CITY, or Hawaii Five-O, this show's pilot was refreshing, it moved along at a brisk pace, and made me actually interested in what happens next.Compared to throwaway skin-show-for-kids like "Quantico" this show should be a breakaway hit. At least, in a world where critics have taste.

    "Wicked City" came across as different in a good way. Probably should be X-rated for sex. The blonde nurse was a main char. in Parenthood. She played a married lawyer with a stay at home dad for a husband in Parenthood. In Wicked City Betty isn't as high IQ. It was difficult trying to distinguish the main cop from the serial killer as they both had plenty of facial stubble and similar hair color and hair cuts. We noticed the background noise blocked out the dialog sometimes; we couldn't turn the volume up at 10-11 pm. Will record and watch during the day next week. We both gave it an excellent rating. Many of the shows that began new in October we've dropped already because of difficulty seeing and hearing, so we're trying to stick with this one. For the first half of the pilot I thought the main cop might be the serial killer, but the confusion was cleared up later.
