Synopsis

In the gritty world of the NYPD, no one's tougher than Detective Robert Ironside. He and his trusted, handpicked team of specialists will do whatever it takes to solve New York's most difficult and notorious crimes - even if it means breaking the rules. As a detective, his instincts are second to none, and those around him have to stay on their toes if they want to keep up...because when his spine was shattered by a bullet two years ago, Ironside swore he'd never let a damn wheelchair slow him down.

Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
firefamily1952 I LOVE this show, where did it go??? I enjoyed watching this show and I all of a sudden do not find it in my TV listings on Wednesday nights. The show is Fast paced, quick thinking, extremely entertaining. Good stories, plots, action. I enjoyed the old series and it is a great to have a re-make. Any cameos from prior cast members would be a nice touch if possible. Blair is quick witted and believable. His eagerness to help his partner get back on his feet and back in the action is a good story line as well. I like that each character has a specialty that can be played upon in the show. Finance is a favorite of mine and I am intrigued when the plot focuses on criminals in the financial world. The casting was right on. The staging is creative, the team's offices outside of the police station are well done. I like drama, detective, medical, and comedy shows just to name a few. Shows with a lot of action like, Elementary, Persons Of Interest, Blue Bloods, Revenge, Covert Affairs, Good Wife,NCIS, CSI-LA, are just a few of my favorites and Ironside falls right at the top of that list. Ironside is full of suspense and at times humor, it definitely is an attention keeper. I like the flash back portions, as no matter where you decide to tune in you will be able to follow the story line. This also adds to the flavor of each episode. I hope the series continues for a long time.
SnoopyStyle Blair Underwood is a great actor and he takes on the challenge to remake an old TV character Robert Ironside. He's a cop who got shot but stayed on duty in the field. He's an action sexy hero supercop on wheels. A lot of it is too over the top without being smart. It's just too much to see him time after time taking the bad guys down. At some point his disability should be a disability. I understand the wish to make disable as just another opportunity, but I would respect the show more if they do it more realistically.It's a dark moody show. It might be too dark and moody. No matter what the case may be, it never got past episode 3 before being canceled. It had horrible viewership.
whermantodd Blair, it is good to see an Afro detective replace Mr, Burr this role. You are, without plagiarizing, touching on the accent parts of Perception and Elementary well portrayed in the NYPD, versus the typical cop protocols, well done.Loved the well choreographed hand defense scene the Oct 16th episode party shot with young lady. What Bones has taught to those who know the simple technique to subdue trouble.My hope is this New Ironside saga will go for a quite long run with writers and directors of competent skill. The saga is wide open to the evolution of characters to face NYC could face. Thank you.
mcort5 This was the first episode. It was an infomercial for the show. As mentioned above the actors were well chosen and competent in their roles. I DO wonder why they moved the setting to New York. (They could have stuck with San Francisco and shot in Oregon, Washington or Vancouver).The writers should not expect to use Blair Underwood's sex appeal to push the series along. (This didn't work with Jimmy Smits in "Outlaw"). Furthermore, they shouldn't trade on nostalgia for the old series (like they did with the failed Bionic Woman and Knight Rider attempts).This IS the gritty, sexy Robert Ironside that was promised. BUT RAISE THE BAR on the WRITING. (Think: Law and Order franchise, West Wing, E.R.). Some of it HAS to be about police work and criminals.
