Chase

I'm writing this in February 2021, for posterity I guess - my husband and I both felt Kelli Giddish was a great choice to play the lead in "Chase" - we watched it when it aired, looked forward to it and never understood why it was not picked up for more episodes. A Law & Order SVU marathon was running this 2021 Presidents' Day weekend, some featuring the more recent episodes with Ms. Giddish in the role of the passionate and competent but baggage-carrying "Rollins" character, we thought back to "Chase" and how powerful Ms. Giddish was as the lead in this show. Checking it on IMDB, I had not realized the male lead in "Chase" was played by Cole Hauser (currently a fan favorite in "Yellowstone" as the tough-as-nails and loyal-to-the-end character of "Rip"). I usually grab my remote to change channels ASAP when I see model-esque females cast in powerful action roles due to my inability to suspend disbelief (some CSI episodes come to mind) as I prefer to enjoy the plot-at-hand. However, despite her good looks, we felt Ms. Giddish brought some gravitas/grit to "Chase" that made it quite watch-worthy. Occasionally when I see Ms. Giddish in Law & Order SVU, though I admire her ability to play the "Rollins" role to which she has been assigned and am glad for her to have been chosen for a coveted role in that iconic and long-lasting franchise,I think it's unfortunate that we did not get to see her be able to flourish as the powerful character she played in "Chase," and the show's cancellation also put an end to the interesting and informative plots involving Texas Rangers. Ms. Kiddish appeared to be more than powerful and competent enough to play lead in this well-written, well-directed, and well-cast show; its cancellation appears to have been related more to "connections" than quality. Enjoy watching what episodes may be available to you.

I love this actress! Annie Frost is not your run of the mill US Marshall diva who needs her makeup and hair done to a tee in every scene. Thank goodness Jerry Bruckheimer still casts women who have surprises under their sleeves. The writers are doing a fantastic job by keeping the story moving at a break neck speed and still add compassion in the b lines. I'm looking forward to watching this show every week. And with Cole Hauser, Jessie Metcalfe, Rose Rollins, and Amaury Nolasco, and not to mention Kelli Giddish, I can't lose. I love the guest stars who really love to be bad and Chase has those guys. if I were an actor, and cast on this show I would want to be the bad guy,because Kelli Giddish would take me down. please give this show a chance to show it's true colors by exposing the soft side, and the dysfunctional side of the cast. I'm a true fan.

Before seeing this new show I read the reviews that weren't enthusiastic. I saw the cast list and, really, I didn't see anything that I could love at first sight. I'm also confident that not necessarily a great cast will make a show more enjoyable than any other but it helps. It helps a lot. For example if you watched The Forgotten (by CSI producer Jerry Bruckheimer and also producer of this show), maybe you could find Christian Slater as a reference but not much more than that, and it was a very good show. Or The Beast, with Patrick Swayze, and you could find another good surprise there. Good shows with many people not so famous, not so charismatic. And I think that in Chase you have some chance of finding some good moments. Maybe if the show goes well you can connect with the cast. That option lays on good stories for the future. The first one wasn't disappointing. Maybe not great as anybody of us would want to watch, but not disappointing. It's just standard and that's pretty OK. Let's see what happens next.

I disagree with all of the other reviews. Most people these days are just down right picky when it comes to their shows. This show is fun to watch. If you honestly enjoy having to watch shows like CSI where they have 10 different show pertaining to every city in the country and solving the same crimes, then by all means watch those shows.

This show is very entertaining and moves at a quick pace.

Most other cop shows on TV are very slow and the investigation portions tend to drag on.

I think Chase is a very exciting show and I look forward to watching it every week.

I hope that this show continues to make it beyond one season

Hopefully this season continues to get better and starts to change peoples view of its quality.

But only without the Annie Frost character. We quit watching because we simply could not stand her. The character acted like she was a one woman show and completely ignored her team's safety. She was constantly putting herself and her team in danger and acted like she knew it all, usually with results that could have resulted in someone being seriously injured. Not that it would have mattered if it had been her. If you watch a show, you want it to be realistic and her grandstanding was horrible. Also, that accent was so horrible and when she would look at a victim's relative and say "I'll get the them", we would laugh out loud. Never the team would find the perpetrator but always "her". What a joke. It just got to the point where we quit watching the show. The rest of the cast was superb and I think they should bring the show back without her and it would work. Make Jimmy the team leader and make the team work together like they do in other Jerry Bruckheimer shows.
