Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

chrismcreynolds I really wanted to like this series. I normally would since there is quite a bit to like about it. At first when I found so many problems, I kept thinking that it was me who was not paying close enough attention. Within a few weeks (of giving it another shot each week after watching the pilot) I finally decided that its weak writing was not from my missing something or that they ran out of creative ideas. The whole style of this show is intentionally written for a demographic that knows very little about the technical and legal issues in "th real world" and unfortunately this also includes anyone that has made it through more than a few CSI and or Law and Order shows. In short, this show is for viewers weaning off of daytime soaps and it perhaps watching this series in preparation for understanding Law and Order, SVU (the least realistic L & O variant).It really is sad because the cast is really excellent. They also get some strong (some times too strong, or strong in the wrong areas) to play defense attorneys).The show seems to intentionally open with the 1) The same suburban setting with a small town DA that works closely with the staff of 2 gorgeous young ADAs. On the other hand, there seems to be a huge detective division for such a small DAs office. That is complete knit picking to show how forgiving I am. The stories always start out with outrageous "Urban" crimes happening "Close to (Suburban) Home(s)" Get it? OK, so the case always looks like a "cakewalk" for the ADA staff in the first 10 or 15 minutes of the show. After that the case falls apart because of one unrealistic "problem with the case" or another. These problems are always stupid and seen from a thousand miles away. This goes back and forth for the about next 30 minutes.By the time the clock gets close to 45 or 50 past the hour, the resolution can be seen easily and the show always concludes with several minutes of the young ADA at home in the 'burbs with her new baby and young husband contemplating the lesson.The worst part is that at the end of the first season (a few weeks ago) the star of the show arrived home to find her husband (and I think her baby too) killed from a car wreck or a fire. Normally I would not be so uncaring about the details but I had already given up on the series. I really like the cast though and there is nothing else on TV at the time so I watch it while surfing the web some times.If you have also seen this show and wondered what it was that was bothering you, it is not you. It is the show's writers. They suck intentionally.

pwj27214 I watch this show every time it comes on. I look forward to it every week. It always has a surprise close to the end of the show. When you think you know who did it and why; you get surprised by who really did it or why they did it. It has a great lineup of great stars. The actors in the district attorney's office and the police department are great. They do such a great job of acting that you think you are actually there with them. If you are looking for a show that shows police work, district attorney's office and a jury trial this is the show for you. I would recommend this show to everyone. GREAT SHOW AND A GREAT LINEUP OF STARS.

josh bryan The opening scenes are always interesting and so are the cases. But the show takes a complete nosedive into the ground after the first fifteen or twenty minutes, with their questionable law practices and epiphanies which come out of the sky, like in this episode "Romeo and Juliet Murders" Annabeth just pulls a motive, the right motive to be exact out of her @$$.The lead actress is pretty bad. She looks like "Prosecutor Barbie" and seems so out of place in the court room. You may think I'm being stereotypical, I really don't mind beautiful perky-looking prosecutors but the actress seems as if she's uncomfortable in her role. She always has the same facial expressions.Kimberly Elise is much better, a glowing halo of light in this very bleak television show. As for the rest of the actors and actresses, main and guest starring, not much can be said about their talent (or rather lack of).I also love the fact that the defense seems so captivated by Annabeth's speeches and she always wins the case. Generally formulaic story lines, sticking to the crime drama stereotype. It's worth watching once, but overall, very forgettable.

annastaciacollins I originally decided to watch this show because my favorite actor Plays Jack Chase. but then i noticed that the show is well written and i hope it is successful because Christian Kane and his cast mates deserve a success."Close To Home" is a brilliantly written show with emotion and i love how Anabeth goes with her heart to close the case and you realized that each case involves a house wife or a woman. something Anabeth can get emotional about. Christian Kane is a wonderful actor and he has been in several movies and played Ryan Leggett in the Short Lived Series "Fame LA" in 1997. i also have a fan list for Christian Kane on Yahoo Groups.Melissa
