Take Two

Such a feel good show. Funny, mysterious, great chemistry, Bilson is very humorous to Eddy"s dry shtick. Love it can wait for season 2. Please come again!

I haven't read the other reviews, but I think this show is great. It's funny, has a touch of will they/won't they, and lays out a good mystery per show. It's not serious or heavy, just something fun to watch if you like crime shows and comedies.

The pilot of this new show was a bit messy but enough to get me interested and enough to make me get a dvr pass for the show, I am a huge fan of Castle which was also quite messy in the first season.

Give it a chance people, Bilson is quite charming in this role and now that we no longer have Becket on the force, maybe this will take off.

People, people, why so negative? This isn't a serious show. The premise alone, the idea that an actress gives up Hollywood for private investigation work is preposterous haha. That said the show works. Sure it's follows a similar script as any other cop show, but the two leads, and I'm sorry I can't remember her name or his, but they both excell. They're funny. They have chemistry. It's not 24; walking dead; or ER. But that's ok. I say give it a chance people.

Rachel Bilson plays Sam Swift-an actress whose career is on the skids, but who has gone through rehab to sobriety.

Eddie Cibrian ("LeAnn & Eddie") plays Eddie Valetik-a P.I. who used to be a cop until he was burned in a police corruption case. He was the good guy.

Like many series before it, "Take Two" combines two disparate individuals-one a crime investigator, one something else-and uses the odd couple dynamic to produce comedy and crime solving. And like these other shows, "Take Two" relies heavily on the chemistry between its two main characters for entertainment.

Fortunately, the Bilson-Cibrian connection works well on screen. She is a perky-to-the-point-of-distraction enthusiast and he is a dispassionate veteran with a Ted Danson-like demeanor-the straight man to her comedic talents.

The cast expands to include some welcome additions, including sidekicks for each of the stars. All are interesting characters.

Update 10/1/18: I am upgrading to an "8" due to great episode casting and my overall enjoyment of this series.

Just give the show a couple episodes to get rolling. It is worth it.
