Murder in the First (TV Series) Pilot (2014) User Reviews

Great beginnings

I always loved Hill Street Blues and knowing Bochco in commands of this one, I was curious and after seeing it, not disappointed.

No murder case solved (and then some) after 40 minutes, taking time developing the characters, putting in place the delicate interactions...

Many interesting second-line roles there waiting to hatch.

Hope to see many many more episodes of this one. It could easily become with Justified and Longmire one of my favorites (True Detective is very good but it contains a little too much "implied fantasy" for a crime TV show).

Just loved it.

(9 out of 10 without hesitation)

Not competition at all for Longmire!

Well after being TOTALLY bored with the 1st episode I finally got around to watching episode 2 that I had recorded to give it another try. I just don't find any of the main characters interesting at all and the story arc is just totally boring and run of the mill. This show has nothing to draw me in at all and I like crime procedural's. I watch Major Crimes which is it's lead in. Then what sealed it for me to stop recording it was the obvious desperation showed by the production by showing not 1 but 2 women's naked butts, the murder victims and then the sister-in-law of the detective that just buried his wife when she tries to seduce him after the funeral. Wow classy show and writing, NOT! I'm done. Not worth any more of my time. Worst procedural crime show I've seen in a long time! My 10pm Monday viewing is booked already anyway with Longmire. There was never any danger of this drawing me away from Longmire. Longmire has no competition from this disaster.
