The InBetween

The "In Between" pilot had many twists that I didn't see coming. I was expecting something straightforward, along the lines of "The Ghost Whisperer" or "Medium" but this one, so far at least, has layers. I'm not going to get into any details because I don't want to give anything away for those who haven't seen it yet but suffice to say, I hope that the writers and show runners continue in this vein.

I will mention that though that some of the critical review left me confused. For example, the comment about the main character's ingratitude when being given a gift. That was a very biased interpretation of the scene. What actually happened was the main character was unexpectedly visited by a detective who had, not once but twice been outright rude to her, and then he unexpectedly shows up at her home very early in the morning. His gift? A pasty. Oh was she supposed to fall all over herself with gratitude? He's lucky that she even deigned to speak to him and didn't slam the door in his face. And then, when she allowed him in and answered his questioned, he insulted her psychic abilities again by accusing her of "just guessing". So much for the other reviewer who said that he was convinced in the first 15 minutes.

We're we watching the same show? People really do see exactly what they want to see.

This is a great show with a strong cast. Paul Blackthorne is solid as always in these sorts of shows. lots of scope for character development and plot line. cant wait to see which direction it goes. thoroughly enjoyed the first episode and cant wait for more. can see this running for quite a while.

Yes this might work. I miss Ghost Whisperer much and with the detective involvement this is best of both worlds. I hope that the show keep bringing interesting stories.

I like these kind of shows but learn not to get too attached! They usually get canceled but we have 50 seasons NCIS or Law and Order. Not dissing those shows but would like some variety! Hope this one lasts a few seasons at least. I liked the different family dynamic as well.

I've just watched the Pilot. The idea is sound and the main group of cast members is pretty good. I know it would be too much to ask for NBC to NOT use Nielsen Ratings for shows, but Wednesday at 10pm is a tough sell. On Demand viewership will be more realistic of who's really watching this.

I like the idea, but I'm not sure how well this will hold up given it is a Supernatural Cop Drama, but I like the idea of it.
