Decent, with some good potential due to the interesting characters. Not as memorable as the Southland pilot from a few years back, but enough for me to check out a few more eps.
I liked Maria Bello's character. Very different character than anything I've seen her do before. The rest of the squad came off as petty children rather than professionals. It felt like the writers were trying so hard to prove that she was working in an environment where she was hated and loathed that they wound up laying it on too thick....especially considering that by the second half of the episode we were supposed to believe that her competence had started to win them over.
I'm glad the backed off the sexism that was in the reel they released right after the fall schedule announcement. Really, there are enough abrasive sides to her character that most of it wasn't needed.
I think the show has potential. I'll give it a couple of more views.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
Reminds me of NYPD Blue, I'll probably watch it occasionally.

ReplyDeleteLoved it. Maria Bello shows us how it's done.
