Hilarious every now and then.

I cant understand why people make such a big deal out of this. Its got a blunt kinda humor i for one like very much. There's no way this is to be taken serious just sit and enjoy or don't look at it all if its not your kind of humor.

I like the change from all those serious stuff like all kinds of CSI place this place that. No offense cause many people do like those NCIS Profiler kinda copies of other copies.

I think this as E.R versus House MD (Big fan of House by the way) One pretends to be serious the other also but with a twist. Jummy.

I like it

Light summer fare

[gray1937-1 · 5/10 · 13 June 2010]

This show isn't great, perhaps not even good, but certainly not the horror the first reviewer characterized. It is decent light summer fare with talented and attractive actors and actresses. Yes,Bradley Whitford plays a Luddite too primordial to believe in this day and age (for someone younger than, say, 90) and hams it up to the nines, but you shouldn't expect him to be Josh Lyman every time out. After all, if Dule Hill can get away playing Stepin Fetchit as Gus Guster on "Psych", then most anything should be acceptable from the "West Wing" crew. In the first two episodes at least, the plots were a little thin, but the women are lovely. If you are looking for substantive intellectual fare, there's always "Nova."

not-good, dumb not-fun

[screaminmimi · 1/10 · 13 June 2010]

The writers never met a gender, ethnic or racial stereotype or clichéd plot device they didn't want to embrace and exploit. I feel sorry for Bradley Whitford and Colin Hanks for being so at loose ends that they felt compelled to take on this assignment. It's undoubtedly one of the worst American cop shows I've ever seen, and rivals a couple of the lamer Italian cop shows ("L'ispettore Coliandro" and "Montalbano," to name names) for sheer dreadfulness. It doesn't have the wit to be truly funny, and the drama is ludicrous. The dialog reads like a very early rough draft of a high-schooler's idea of a teleplay. It's sad when the commercials are wittier and more entertaining than the program.
