    Rough ride, this one
    Not gonna lie, I was disappointed in 'Unnecessary Roughness'. The banter between partners was all off, the Riggs/Palmer tryst was awkward (having the actress actually appear in the episode would help) and it all centered on a football crime of the week. It didn't feel like the show I've been sucked into all season, and worse than that, it's just dull.

    Not a great week.
