The Rainmaker

Don't listen to the first reviewer.

I loved the pilot to be honest. It was a bit messy with multiple plotlines that kept me interested. The acting was decent. I didn't notice too much that was distracting.

Madison, Milo, Wade, and Lana were actually why I began watching this. I love the cast sm already. Obviously, It's not oscar worthy at least judging by the first episode but it has potential.

I also love the soundtrack and cinematography. Btw, I don't even like lawyer shows that much so this was a surprise. Other than that don't anything else to say, I'm super excited for what comes next!

I really wanted to like this, but the acting is painfully bad. Terrible script, so the actors aren't the only ones to blame.

There is not much else here to keep you watching either.

Watch the movie instead and you'll actually have a solid two hours of entertainment with decent actors.

The lead in this was cast as eye candy, but you can't stake an entire show on that alone.

Give this one a miss.

I'm so glad I didn't take to heart the reviews during the press days. I had read about 3-4 negative or not so positive.

I initially came early into the project when it was announced that Lana Parrilla was added to the cast. Once I saw that PJ was also in the cast, I got even more excited. I think some folks would be upset to find out that the series is going to be loosely based on the book, but I am glad that it's not. The book wasn't that great- the main action and interesting part wasn't until the last 150 pages. So it's awesome that the series will be broadening and expanding this Rainmaker world. I'm also glad that Bruiser and Sarah are being given a backstory and more involvement into the plot as opposed to the book. Bruiser is barely in the book and Sarah was only mentioned twice in passing. So to see the cast be more diverse and not so male focused is a breath of fresh air. It also helps when showcasing how it is being a woman in a male dominated industry, such as in the world of law.

To be honest, I don't understand all these crazy reviews of 1 or 10 stars after just 1 episode.

The pilot was in my opinion decent - not as terrible or amazing as so many reviews suggest. I enjoyed it for now and it was interesting enough that I will watch at least a couple more episodes to form a proper opinion. So we'll see how the story develops. For me the pilot was somewhere between a 6 or 7 rating, but I hate all the negativity and bumped it up for now, hoping the series will improve in the next episodes. Depending on how this goes, I will probably amend my rating though.

The pilot didn't really leave me hooked, I'll probably keep watching because I enjoy the cast, especially Lana. I think the show could have some potential, but the scripts can definitely be better. Can't really blame the acting, if the writing just isn't there. I think it's a good story and hopefully will get better as the season progresses.
