Jett

I won't lie, Carla Gugino is the only reason I considered checking this show out.

Didn't come into this expecting too much but honestly after one episode, there is enough going on to hook me and keep me coming back.

Decent acting, good cast selection. Good story and the sets look very stylish and detailed. Wardrobe department deserves credit and the music score top notch.

Very well written with enough twists to keep me guessing, I only hope the season can keep up with this first episode and not have a let down.

I saw an earlier review here dissing the writing, which is outrageous and uninformed. If you dig pulp and great one-liners, this show is truer than most to that particular strain of American pop culture. Gugino is a treasure.

Full disclosure: I like the projects that Carla and Sebastian put together. Having said that, this one is a cut above. It's a fun/slick run at a hardcore thief dragged back into the business. The writing is good and quirky, the punchlines & violence come in off-beat timing, and the characters are great. I've seen several episodes now and the show continues to hold my interest. Yes, there is casual nudity, so puritans should probably look elsewhere. But for the rest of us, Jett is a enjoyable fast ride with Carla Gugino on a whole new level. Check out the pilot and you'll see what I mean.

JETT is unlike anything else on TV. Several notches above Cinemax fare. People keep comparing it to Tarantino and Leonard but... there's other forces at work here. Female, Latin American, European influences. Like Dario Argento, Brian De Palma and Steve Soderbergh collaborating on some strange brew of female centric crime noir. Very very odd. Moving. Razor sharp. Very cool.

I don't get why so many people dislike this show. The overall rating is much lower than the episode ratings which seems bizarre unless someone has an agenda and a legion of trolls behind them trying to get the show cancelled. The number of ratings for a show just out and on a minor network is also suspicious. People offended by nudity? Or interracial relationships? I wouldn't say this is the best new show but it's as good as any in the class. I wouldn't say it's unique either. There have been other shows with female leads with similar characteristics and plot lines but it's not predictable either. I can't find too much at fault with the writing, acting, or production. It's certainly better than the ratings suggest.
