Is there ever going to be another police drama with a male lead? I'm so tired of all these police dramas full of all women detectives whose roles are totally unbelievable. Men are always portrayed as simpletons and this show is no exception. The police officer helping Ellis comes off as mentally lacking and the other male lead is pictured as a bully. I'm sure I'm not the only woman who would like to see some strong masculine leads. Being a normal male is somehow toxic these days and needs to stop. Men are often played as misogynistic or plain stupid and only the smart female can save the day. Enter the 120lb female subduing the 200lb man in a fight. Men and women are both intelligent and can be featured making good choices working together. Women can be made to look smart and competent without making men look dumb. I didn't care for the personality of the lead actress's character, she's certainly not a very likeable.

This a nice movie to sit down and watch with the younger kids. The story is the usual affair of a young girl's parents going through a divorce and relocating to a new town. Charlie finds herself adjusting to a new school and some not so nice "mean" girls. To compensate for the lack of friends Charlie sets her sites on finding a horse with the help of her dad's friend. The ads provide some possible horses but none are in her budget. On the way home from a day of horse hunting they find a horse caught in some wire and rescue it. Charlie takes the horse back to the stable and they begin a search for the owner. As time goes by the owner doesn't appear and Charlie develops a real bond with the horse . Charlie's mom isn't crazy about Charlie's growing affection for the horse and worries about the real owner showing up to claim him. The drama comes later when a series of events threatens to keep Charlie competing in the rodeo and losing the horse. There's a happy ending and all is well.

This a show with no x rated surprises, the whole family will enjoy.
