Steineded How sad is 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.
SnoopyStyle The mercurial FBI Agent Virgil Webster (Peter Coyote) leads the L.A. Violent Crimes Unit. After losing an agent, rookie agent Rebecca Locke (Rachel Nichols) joins the group. As a 10 year old, she was held prisoner for 18 months and escaped. It's a past that only Webster is purview to as he tries to use her experience from The Inside.The obvious question is why this show crashed and burned while a similar show like 'Criminal Minds' keeps going and going and going. It has to be both the show and what Fox does with the show. For Fox, this was nothing but a summer burn-off. They aired the episodes in a jumbo and dump them like dirty laundry. The show has a bit of serial element and showing the episodes out of order doesn't help. Criminal Minds is an easy to digest police procedural. There is hardly any serial element to the show and CBS actually supported it. The central aspect of Locke's past is a bit too fake and the show is trying to make her too special. She is still a rookie after all. As for the look of the show, it is very stark and somewhat dark. The visual is almost drained of color. In fact, the most color in the show comes from some dream sequences. The show makes a basic mistake that some of these serial killer show at the time makes. The dark material convinces the showrunner to film it darkly. The material is dark enough that it doesn't need to be starkly filmed. It drains the life out of the show. With a few tweaks and actual support from Fox, this could have been a successful show.
shazrahman Rachel Nichols is a joke, she thinks acting is getting teary eyed when emotional is enough to convince us she cares. And getting openly annoyed at people is believable for someone who is a great psychologist. Well knock me sideways with with a ton of haddock. Its far from consistent.She ruined the polished turd of a show with her ridiculous hamming up cliché lines that I said before she did (probably with more presence too). How is it that she as a woman (of what seems like 22) is a genius at knowing EXACTLY what the killer thought. I mean she knew what colour underwear they wore on the day they killed somebody. Seriously - get real - nobody is that good.This is a watered-down version of Criminal minds (not that Criminal minds is anything to write home about).
gman-58 This show is another example of the poorly written, pointless story lines that people in TV land know the general public will gobble up. Far from being a great show, this show merely borrows from past works, and almost every sentence in the dialog is brimming with clichés.The main character is all over the place. One minute she is detached and cool, the next she is an overly emotional child. There is no cohesion in her character, and even if there was she is not the least bit likable.As an aside, the main character's boss would be doing jail time in the real world for the emotional abuse he inflicts on his underlings.In short, thank goodness it was canceled.
Sean Mathews I thought that the first episode was very promising. Kind of a cross between CSI and Without a Trace. There was also a small trivia bit when Adam Baldwin's character said he was in the marines and tried to give himself a tattoo. Baldwin of course played Animal Mother in Full Metal Jacket and was a Marine. There are way too many shows of this variety out, but this one in my opinion is the better of them. It is also somewhat like Silence of the Lambs without Hannibal Lector. Rebecca Locke is very much like special Agent Starling, and the killers are much like Buffalo Bob. Fans of the Lector movies will like this show. In all, the show should hold it's own during the summer, but it might get hard during the fall, if it lasts that long.
