This show had promise, but it gets worse each time I watch it. The male actors are fine, but the actress has been badly miscast. Her acting is alright, but she's in the wrong roll. The show is trying too hard to be serious and dark with dark difficult characters. They pour on the posturing and hostility too strong and too often. With the third episode they started shoving sexual tension and now we have a cop soap-opera. After the third episode I debated watching the next episode, but started it and stopped it within a few minutes. I won't be watching again. It's too bad as I wanted to like this show, but the writing is so poor it's just not worth the effort to suffer through it.

The Unusuals
(2009)
The Unusuals is definitely worth watching!
3 June 2009
I like cop shows, which was one of the reasons I was drawn to this show. This is well-written, well directed, well acted show. It is mainly a drama with humor sprinkled throughout it. It manages to keep the viewer intrigued without the intense violence or graphic nature of most of the other popular crime shows we see today. I love cast of characters they have chosen. I turn each week to watch this show because I truly am drawn back to the storyline and the characters. I certainly don't tune in because ABC has advertised; since they don't. This is good show and it deserves a real chance to succeed. If you haven't watched this show, tune in and give it a chance. It is well worth the time spent watching it.
