    probably the best single season show ever

    I Would just like to start out with telling the world,it's an disgrace that this show got canceled, loved everything about it. Watched it for the second time now and its so enjoyable. The humor, the action, everything. It contains a lot of life lessons, good moments, sad moments, and it showcases a very interesting relationship between two competitive friends. Good actors, fitting roles, a nice moving plot and beautiful scenery. Someone need to take the L for bad marketing on this, I cant imagine anyone starting to watch this show without being hooked, its that great, seriously. I hope God makes someone pick this up again. I will wish for another season until forever. I will not feel true happiness until this is fulfilled. Thank you.

    An interesting new take on the classic cop show.

    Though only the first few episodes are out, I find Common Law extremely enjoyable. It's basically your standard cop show, as shiny and quick-paced and quick-witted as most shows these days, but with an extra twist that adds a lot of character. The relationship between the two main characters is petty at times, but extremely entertaining more often than not and dynamic enough in its own way. The comedy elements are sharp and there a lot of well-thought-out details.

    Basically, if you don't want to watch two grown men squabble for an hour, this show might not be for you. But if two attractive detectives with a complicated and, at times, a pseudo-homosexual relationship sounds like something you're into, you should definitely give Common Law a watch.

    Great Show

    I barely watch new shows when they come on t.v, because I usually wait for them to come on Netflix, because I hate commercials but I digress, but this show really caught my attention from the previews. It starts out a bit slow as every new series does, but by 15 minutes in, it draws you....many shows don't catch your attention that quick. This show is the perfect mix of drama, comedy, suspense, & action. The actors are perfect in their role, not over the top or trying to hard, the actors fit perfectly into to the characters they portray. The two main characters Michale Ealy and Warren Kole are a great match, and not to mention hot!!. This show is definitely here to stay! I predict 5-8 seasons, if you happen to be home on Friday night, and you're looking for a good show to enjoy, Common Law if definitely that show.

    Great Show

    I thought it was refreshing. The pilot started a little slow but gain entertainment value. Give it a chance. It's characters relationship are much like real life couples whether their friends or intimate males and females. They're crazy and remember it's just a show not a serious dramatic TV show like Law & Order. It's meant to be what it is; funny, goofy at times, but overall entertaining. The fact that some reviews dislike the unrealistic scenario when the dog sniffs the heroin in the fish tank are taking the show too serious or too scientific. While other shows are based on the trendy CSI scientific approach to solve homicide cases are still intriguing and worthy of quality show production, it's refreshing to have a balance. A funny detective show like Common Law is just what I enjoyed about the overall options of shows viewers can choose.

    Great Show

    I really enjoy this show. I was reluctant at first because it seems like almost every time I like a show it ends up canceled. But the previews for this captured my attention. I really enjoy the combination of comedy, drama, and action. One thing I need to stress is that my husband is a little picky when it comes to TV and movies and he really likes this one too. It's one of the few shows we can watch together. For those who complain that it isn't realistic, watch the news if you want realism. This is fictional TV, meant to entertain, if you're being picky about things in it that aren't realistic, you're taking it too seriously. It's meant to be fun and it is. The two leads are perfectly suited to their roles and have a great on screen chemistry.

    I really hope there's a season 2!!!
