The InBetween

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.

I really like(d) this show. I can't believe they cancelled it. I hope a streaming service picks it up and continues it! I looked forward to seeing every episode and enjoyed all of them.

I see comparisons to Medium and Ghost Whisperer here, I loved Medium and hated Ghost Whisperer. I am enjoying The Inbetween with 2 episodes in. Not sure why there is so much dislike for the lead, she's not as good as Arquette and much better than Love-Hewitt. Has she had neurotoxins injected into her face, of course she has. Don't be stupid, she's an actor. So I like her but my favorite is the detective dad followed closely by LA translplant detective...it's fun watching that isn't too prime time. I hope this show gets enough episodes to find its' legs.

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.

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.
