Guilty Party

It just drags, poor writing, poor editing. Cloying to the point that you find yourself embarrassed hanging in there hopeig it might grow wings. And it was rated as a comedy to boot. Not.

Maybe I've just seen too many TV shows, but it seems like studios are just trotting out the same formulas over and over, by trying them with different, big-name actors. Beckinsale is great and there are a lot of really impressive performances but it all just feels regurgitated.

It's too back that studios immediately nix any original and creative ideas brought to them. They all want to still to the same old things that have worked before. We want 'Mindhunter meets The Wire' or some other combination. A loser protagonist that is at rock bottom but has that one last chance - then uses someone who realizes they're being used but they go along with it and then, in the end... well, you know how this will end.

... and I really like it. Kate, why did you do so many Underworld etc. Movies? You are really funny! Watched this one episode after having seen Jolt, which I really enjoyed because of Kate's funny side. Well done, looking forward to more Guilty Party and funny Kate in particular. So, my review is still too short, so I will gladly repet myself, Kate Beckinsale is a talented comedic actress who can also do action, obviously.

I admit I tuned into this show simply because of Kate Beckinsale. I'll try anything she's in, not that I always continue watching (e.g. The Widow didn't keep my interest). But I think this show has potential. They are just getting started and while several of the characters are cliché, I think it's worth giving the writers a few more episodes. It's certainly better than most of the crap on these days.

I think this show is a fantastic quirky must see and lol funny....hard to find in today's overwhelmingly flooded television market. If you love to laugh, have a quirky and sometimes dark sense of humour you will thoroughly enjoy this show. If you can't handle a female lead being hilarious with magically funny written scenes with great supporting acting roles then maybe you need to look in the mirror and realise you've missed the point and the fun!!
