Eyes

This Tim Daly led drama is a very nice surprise. It has a CSI classy and glossy feel to it with a touch of humor like that found in something written by David E Kelly.

If someone steals $100 from you, call the police. If they steal $100,000, call the FBI. But if you're the CEO of a Fortune 500 company and your chief financial officer embezzles $100 million on your watch, call Judd Risk Management. Harlan and his employees, including A.J Langer who plays over-educated secretary Meg, Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon playing super Private Investigator Nora Gage and Laura Leighton as sly and very ultra slick lawyer Leslie Town, all operate on the fringes of the law, to obtain the necessary outcome.

"Eyes" walks a fine line between sharp wit and fairly dark plot elements, and succeeds for the most part in making that tension in the script feel complex rather than clunky. Judd himself is engaging and strange, and Daly pulls off some very clever dialogue with abundant charm. He's well supported by the rest of the cast, including Laura Leighton who has finally left her well-known Melrose Place after-ego behind and A.J. Langer, who hasn't lost a step since "My So-Called Life."

Eyes is witty and very sharp and if it obtains the target audience (i'm thinking CSI, Crossing Jordan and Law and order) it will do very very well.

With ABC already having 2 break-out hits on their hands (Desperate Housewives and Lost), i'm sure they'll try for the tri-fecta with this one.

This is a great show. Tim Daly is perfect with the one liners and sarcastic humor. The supporting cast, whose names I don't know yet, are also very good. All the acting is great, the story lines are engaging, and the suspense is at just the right level. Its been a while since I've seen a TV show that really captured my interest like this. Apparently the deceit and double-dealing has started early, but you'll have to watch the show to get that. Another good thing is that you can enjoy each episode on its own, but they are all linked to each other with the subplots. If you like your crime shows with some humor and class, less technical talk(a plus for us unknowledgeble gadget geeks) and characters you can care about, start watching this show now! Wednesdays at 10pm, on ABC.

I stumbled across "Eyes" last night, too, and was very impressed. Loved the stylish look, the acting, and the story lines. I found some of the characters to be over the top, but it worked. I was thinking I was watching son of "24."

Good to see Tim Daly...still remember him so fondly from "Almost Grown," which was also unique in its day. It was also nice to see the two women working together instead of having the all-too-typical catty, antagonistic relationship women have on TV.

I'll be watching eagerly next week to see if the show continues with the intrigue.

This show was fun and utilized the great on-screen personality of Tim Daly. It was fun and entertaining with a bit of angst that made you want to tune in the following week--and then it was gone.

Maybe just maybe, networks need to give ensemble pieces that appear to have chemistry but need time to get to the public--the chance to do just that. The cost of the pilot and the first shows should at least make it financially prudent to show all of the shows in the can.

This one is gone-----but maybe next time the same mistake won't be made. And maybe, someone will find a vehicle for the multi-talented Mr. Daly.

The pilot aired last night and I was amazed! I watched it because the beautiful AJ Langer is in it but now I have more to watch it then just her being in it! I would say it's like Boston Legal in the sense that it has a twisted sense of humor to it but I've never seen Boston Legal and I'm only comparing it to that on word of mouth that I've heard on it.

The pilot was funny, cool, and entertaining--an all around cool show! Very high tech too!

I hope the pilot was a sign of things to come.

Hopefully the promos during Depserate Housewives and Lost and the fact that it's on ABC's awesome Wednesday lineup (with Lost) that it'll get great ratings. It'd be a shame to see this get canceled. I really enjoyed what I watched and it's got me hooked!

I highly, highly recommend this over any reality show crap or Law & Order (which it's in the same time slot as) Law & Order is a great show and good to watch to kill time but it becomes run of the mill whereas Eyes is fresh, innovative, and entertaining to watch!

If you haven't already, you too should have your eyes on Eyes!
