Hello and good day to you guys and girls. How are you today?Fine and peachy I hope. Today I would like to do review U.S.A'S t.v. show called "Common Law". Ever since I saw the preview I thought I would give it a try. It seemed like an interesting concept. Two detectives who need to go to therapy because the don't get along with each other sounds like a good premise for a show. I have to admit though that its seemed very close to U.S.A'S other series 'Psych' of course that is without the psychic spin on it.
It slipped my mind for a while though and I didn't venture into actually watching the series until a few weeks ago. I am glad I did though. It is a really nice family series with lots of laughs and excitement. It does remind me of both 'Psych' and 'Monk'both U.S.A shows.
I do have some negative things to say about the series though. Firstly to start off with, I was not sure about the chemistry between the two main characters Travis and Wes. the U.S.A network is usually famous for getting actors that seem to click and their chemistry just fits, that helps makes the show. Even if you don't really like it, you watch for because the characters fit together so well. I don't know if I think they fit to well together.
Only after watching the role playing episode did they really start to get good. I am not sure if the theme of needing couple's counselling works but its funny. I don't really think they need it that much....Oh and I wish they would drop the ex wife story-line with Wes, its very annoying and makes him seem a bit pat.
I read some reviews from other people who really liked the show, so it seems to be doing really well. It seemed to have built a following already although it is only a little into the first season. I have read reviews in which people say that maybe they might as well make them gay and that would've been the unique thing about it. I have to agree that would've been awesome. Two gay detectives who not only work together but also are together outside of work and need couples therapy.It could've been the same actors,and everything else about the plot could've been the same.Unfortunately we might have to wait a long while before a network feels comfortable enough to do that. It still is a good show even though it lacks sometimes.Common Law stars Michael Ealy and Warren Kole on the U.S.A. network.
Words of advice for today: Sometimes you need to get into a show for a little while to get a point before you actually like it. The first episode may not tell you as much as you need to know.
Ciao and stuff....laters and auf wiedersehen!
