So Help Me Todd

It is a difficult thing to do, a comic drama,but this show manages to do that with finesse and style. Marcia Gay Hardin and Skylar Astin as mother/son collaborators in crime work. I have never seen Marcia Gay do comedy and she does well. Skyler Astin is a hoot and so charismatic. They play off each other so well. The supporting cast all do their jobs well. When I heard that Geena Davis had left the project I was not expecting much as that often sparks trouble, but she is not missed in the show. I love the deadpan sister who appears in the show and the nasty co worker who assigns Skylar's character to a storage room for an office. The comedic aspect of the show is what drives it and makes it different from another procedural. Thursday night is a good spot. One of my favorites this season.
