Brilliant show
I must say I was thoroughly disappointed that it was canceled after a single season. What I actually found very strange was the fact that even after all the episodes had aired, here on IMDb it still said - voting starts after broadcast ! Probably that is what killed it. I see all kinds of really stupid police shows, Rogue to name just 1, going into second season. But then I may not be considered a normal person by majority of native US viewers, being 1st generation Indian immigrant !May be if the makers had added some sleaze or foul language or maybe even a werewolf character it would have done better ! But then that is MHO.I really hope and pray they revive it. Apart from the 2 detectives the psychiatrist plays her character brilliantly. Of course I have seen her in British serials so my judgment may a bit clouded !
First show I'm truly sad about the cancellation
I...I just don't know what to say. I thought the show was absolutely awesome. I have a feeling it has to be the shoddy marketing which killed it's numbers. Two million an episode, seriously? This show deserved four, five times that amount. I wonder whether it's the case that people didn't understand the counselling wasn't due to them being "intimate" it was just counselling for their police relationship.
I loved the characters, the story, the acting, the plot...ab.so.lutely everything about it.
There is a special place in hell reserved for whoever cancelled this.
I am a sad sad man, RIP Common law. I wish all the great actors/actresses in it the best of luck. I will always hoping for a resurrection....fingers crossed.

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.
Highly Entertaining!
There's not a lot of great television these days. It feels like everything is "reality" TV, getting worse and worse, and farther from reality.
It's nice to finally see a show being creative AND entertaining. Another reviewer mentioned that the concept of couples therapy isn't realistic in this environment and it would never happen in real life. Welcome to television! Nothing on it is real, that's why it's entertaining. It's called the "suspension of disbelief." I learned that from Howard Stern. Anyway. The only thing that SHOULD be real on TV is the News, and hopefully, one day it will be real again.
The couples therapy is a funny take on the action/dramedy dynamic seen in Analyze This!, The Sopranos, etc... The "couples" aspect of it is a nice twist, and the characters/actors play off of each other very well. The show started off well and has gotten even better as the episodes develop. I'm looking forward to seeing more episodes as this show continues.

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.
